Exhaust Exploring

ok so my dad just had exhaust done on his 4.0 mustang and they cut at the y pipe and then ran two si/so flowmaster original...so my question is do our trucks need both pipes to run into the single cat or could i chop it and put that cat on just one pipe and then run si/so's? sorry if its confusing, let me know and i'll try and get pics if you need

I`m confused. JK. The way I did my exhaust the first time was to remove the big two into one (last) cat. Run a 2.25" to 3" Y-pipe to a flow si/do. Not sure if you`ll be able to run a single pipe into the big 2-in-1 cat. The inlet side is oval shaped to accept the two pipes. But I guess anythings possible...

How many cats do you have? My truck only had three... one on each downpipe and the big 2-into-1. I just removed the big one since there was no sensor after it. No cels and a little deeper, louder sound.

Are you trying to run a true dual setup? If so, sorry to tell you, but your gas tank will prevent that.

lol im so lost but I think I see what you are getting at. just take out all the cats and build a custom back from the exhaust manifolds. You dont need cats (unless the legalityl deal) I have no cats and have no CEL. You can run true dual but the wont be even close to equal length. I dont know but I think I may have answerd your question maybe
