Where is ca do you live? I'm in the Bay Area and was thinking about removing the rear just dot wanna fail smog and get some codes.

What engine do you have? Im not positive on this but i heard 4.6s cel dont come on when you remove the rears but 5.4s do. Once again idk if thats true but I have a 4.6 and the cel didnt go on so i was good. If your close to smog check time wait but if not then you could cut em off n see if the light goes off, if it does just weld them back on or do that o2 sensor mod that a lot of people do on this forum

Still not right. With overdrive off and holding steady at high speed and high rpms I still feel hesitation and a little miss. What the hell.
Also I put a rubber tube on the egr valve to throttle body. Should get the plastic lined tube
