    Removed 2nd set of cats

    I had a local exhaust shop remove the downstream cats this past weekend. It sounds amazing. Its got just the perfect pitch and volume you'd want on a daily driver. I could not be happier with the results. I highly recommend this!

    I love the sound even more, while I'm watching someone drive away in it. You get a better idea of what everyone else hears, and it's Awesome!

    No. The second set of cats are behind the rear O2 sensor.

    I have thought of removing mine to reduce backpressure. I don't want mine to be louder though. decisions decisions I love power but hate noise ! most likely too much time on boats with Detroit diesels. anyways ????

    You could do it, replace factory mufflers with 25" long Dynomax super turbos.
    Factory mufflers are a simple turbo muffler design. It would be about the same sound wise (and you'd get a bit more power)

    Old cats (2) are worth $50 each. Super turbo's are only like $38 each. You'd make money doing this.

    interesting... I have a 3" dynomax (forgot length) on my F250 w/460 single exhaust no cat. loader than I would like at idle but very nice underway. Most likely use my 03 for a test bed first. Probably goning a sell it anyways. then I can get my 04 the way I want the first time. thanks for food for thought

    Best sound my car ever made was rear cat delete and Magnaflows.

    This Stainless Works exhaust I have now is crap and can't wait to modify it. What a complete waste of money.

    If i would have modded my stainless works exhaust to my liking there wouldn't have been anything left , a decent system , but not for me.

    Im going to run a 3" stainless steel tubing , Magnaflow 14" long 4" (round) resonators in place of the cats , and Magnaflow 28" long mufflers with/vband clamps for as quiet as i can get exhaust.
