onebluess Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Im thinking of punching out my converters and installing the spark plug foulers on the rear O2 sensors. Ive researched the site and noticed a lot of members have done this modification but no one has said if they lost any low end torque or any other cons? I did notice one comment of an extra raspy sound from the exhaust. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueAKSSS Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Don't use spark plug non foulers that is sort of the hack way to do that mod, get a tune to delete the trucks rear O2 sensors and you will be good to go. If your truck is mostly stock I don't think you will gain anything by deleting the cats.... Personally I would not do it, but that's just IMO.

onebluess Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 The foulers would just be a quick fix until i can afford a tune. Im getting a little desperate. Because the truck as been parked for 7the months due to bad cats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onebluess Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Thanks for all the info. I did use the search but didnt see what i was looking for. I was mainly worried about torque loss especially since im running true dual exhaust.

Blown 346 Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Me personally, I dont like the way anything sounds without cats. Its raspy and pops when you take off and let off the pedal. IMO it sounds like ass. If your going to do anything do it the right way. If you have emissions and no cats you will fail the visual inspection.

JC03SS Posted November 1, 2012 Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 You can always cut them off and put some high flow cats in there place. I had them on mine for years and recently took them off. I have headers no cats and a dual in out magnaflow and I love it no rasp. It's loud when u get on it but has a nice low rumble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onebluess Posted November 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2012 Thanks for all the help. I went ahead and ordered some new cats. I'll weld them in myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onebluess Posted November 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2012 Well my ebay cats came in and they turned out to be 3" in and out Magnaflows. ive been searching the site for awhile to figure the cheapest headers to use with these and have come with nothing. Im thinking theres no way I can use the pacesetter LT's because their so long and the cats themselves are so much more longer than the originals or can it be done?. I really like the 3 to 400 dollar range for the PC LT's and would like to stay in that price range, and i am factoring in the exhaust shop fees. Any suggestions? I really want to get my truck back on the road... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrick4317 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Share Posted November 23, 2012 I've been told by two different exhaust shops that to install headers it would start at around 400 bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would think it would playout like this Headers-$500.00 Header install- $400-$500 Exhaust system parts and labor-$500.00 Not including thr price if your cats I would estimate under $2 grand.you can install them yourself and save money but exhaust work is not cheap. Try to get a quote from an exhaust shop. Sent from my DROID BIONIC using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
