catalytic converters are on the truck for a reason. :headache: |
just looked looks to have 3 1 off each header then the 2 pipes go in to a cat and one exits so if i took the last one off and make it so that the 2 pipes just went to one pipe to my muffler would this be legal still
|
if not legal then what can i do to get more rumble and be legal
i alreadt have amuffler and dont want to spend more than about 100 |
well, idk how strict PA's emissions laws are, but it sounds like you have a 3.0 like my dads, check out what hes selling.

thats alot of cats, i think the most ever put on a ranger were four. |
I could have swore mine had alteast 6 I may be wrong

Depending on what year ranger you have you CAN remove cats. Alsong as they are all after the O2 sensors you can remove all you like because your truck will just be scanned according to OBD2 which cannot detect any cats after the O2 Sensors. So 96 or newer you can remove one or more possibly. Anything 95 and older I wouldnt mess with it.

i had to take off one of my cats after it got clogged. I had just a pipe running through it while i found a cat to fit. I have a flowmaster muffler and i would say its not worth the hassle. In my opinion, the sound just got uglier. just me.
My truck has 5 cats, 3 pre cats and the two main cats if you wanna count them seperately. it was one of the precats that got cut out. |
i have a 4.0 thats why i put it here lol and i think one of theres days ill go to the muffler shop and see if its legal and how bout sound would it be louder but still keep my rumble
|
A muffler shop wont tell you removing cats is legal....because its not! My 2004 has 3 cats, 2 precats and one after the sensors. I punched out the 3rd one...
|
No ranger has ever had more than 4 cats from the factory...

See if an exhaust shop will replace all your cats and put in 2 high-flow's coming off each bank.

if you want something loud, go with a flowmaster 40series si/do. or just get a sawzaw and cut your muffer off, w/e floats your boat. |
speaking of cats, i need to find a new one because mine has a small hole in the top....
i might have to goto a junkyard and cut one off a mustang or something, just for ****s and giggles. |
so replacing the 3rd cat with a highflow would be a waste of time and money
|
I would say remove it with a Y pipe if you have no O2 sensors after it if you want more sound.
