I have Easy Tow on my policy.



I think it's time to increase the declared value on Frankie.

Welp,I went ahead and cut out the rear two cats with the hopes that I could use Bills suggestion and avoid welding. I learned that I cannot cut in a straight line, and I should have picked up welding long ago haha. I definitely have an exhaust leak on the drivers-side, Will be cheaper to just go to a muffler shop and have them weld in new pipes, you know, the correct way. OR I cut the rest out and then I can correctly attach pipe from the O2 sensor back,, and do the spark plug non-fouler mod for the rear O2s. She sounds good tho so....not all bad?

For added sound, she aint the fastest thing but she can atleast sound angry haha. The non-faulers are a trick on here in the Gotts Mods section, by using the non foulers you limit the exhaust to the rear O2 showing that there is resistance and cats are in place, therefor no CEL.

Yeah, you don't need non-foulers running just the upstream cats. You're are still within programed parameter margins ALA the Y and/or your connections are tight cat forward.

It's really simple, just make sure the upstream or high flow cats, EGR pipe, gaskets at the heads don't leak and are tight. Do anything you want after that, you don't have to run a muffler but you can...the factory original tune will be happy ALA there's no leaks cat forward.
