also, you can remove the rear cats, our trucks have four cats, so you can remove the rear ones no problem. I don't know how strict the law is up there for you though, down here in fl, they don't care if you have cats or not

I am not really looking for performance gain, however I am male therefore I will not be upset if I do get a little hp. I would like to see some mpg gain and good sound would hi flow cats and flowmaster 40's give any mpg gain?

Actually that comment was a joke and not meant for you. There are people on this forum who make all kinds of wild claims.
You would be lucky to get 1 MPG improvement, BUT-----Your truck would sound great and that's good too. I think you would notice a difference. Just don't expect it to make your truck a Hollywood movie truck that burns rubber, because they have spent $20,000+ souping those trucks and cars up. More Hollywood illusions.

I am pretty sure a four wheel truck was never meant to be a race car. As long as it gets me from point A to point B, can pull a trailer and get me around affordable I am happy.

Same here.
Now get those free flow cats and muffler so your truck will sound great.
