high flow cats
someone recommended high flow cats on my ranger and i have heard some say yes and others say you will actually lose performance in the end.. that the factory cats are perfect just the way they are.. i have also heard gut your cat and just run straight pipe out.
thoughts, ideas, or input?

On a stock truck it really wont help a whole lot.
If you are running full bolt on's, boost, or a built motor then yes they would help.
www.planetmagnaflow.com has good prices if you are looking for anything exhaust.

so i installed JBA headers. took the stock flange and cut it away from the old exhaust.
then bought a bunch of 90s, 45s and straight in 2.25", 2.5", and 3" mandrel stainless steel.
I ran 2.25 from the headers to the cats.
you want to try and keep the cats the same distance of tube away from the headers.
Drivers side
I reused the o2s by installing stainless steel bungs and placed them accordingly.
I dont have any pictures right now of it complete but you get the idea.

i ran a borla SI/SO dumped at the bumper before.
i probably spent 850-1000 on the setup.

this muffler but i flipped it around dual 2.5" from each cat, and single 3" out

so your saying just run 2 high flows from magna flow and that magna flow exhaust and just put the 3rd O2 in the little space between the muffler and the cat? and put the other two where they were originally right after the headers.
And you still pass emissions without a problem?
sorry to be a pain about all this. im sorta new to it all.
