I want to put a flowmaster mufler on my 93 ranger, but i got 2 cats, can i remove 1 and still pass emissions? , i got a picture of the 2 cats on my profile

 

Usually when you remove any emissions equipment you won't pass.

 

But im not sure why there is 2 though, shouldnt 1 do just the same

 

There is 2 to clean up the exhaust. My truck has 3 or 4.

 

In my state all they do is look underneeth to see if you have cats and thier happy lol. mine are gutted so I always pass no sniffers

 

mine recently passed with only one

 

If you want sound then get rid of it. You may lose some power though.

 

yeah you won't feel no difference power wise but it is noticeably louder

 

i dont got a lot of power anyways with a 3.0 lol

 

so i could take at least 1 off and be fine or no?

 

Why do you want to do this?

If you are assuming the truck will be faster you are making an uneducated assumption.

 

no i know it wont, kinda looking for sound, thats why im wondering about the cats, i've known them to dampen sound so 2 seems like it would do twice more

 

its possible but if you are only taking one off there wont be any performance gain or really and sound gain I know somtimes it does help to run 93 in the truck when your going through emissions

 

it is possible that the second is a resonator to though, but it sure looks like 2 cats

 

what year truck do you have?

 

My '03 had 4. I don't know about everyone else, and i'm no ford engineer, but if only one cat would clean the exhaust up just fine, why waste the money and put more than one, right?

They're on there for a reason. If they check the emissions out of the tail-pipe you could possibly fail.

But then again, we have no emissions/inspections at all here in alabama :)

 

its a 93

 

nah you dont have any resinators at least I have never seen any put in rangers and especially that year

 

Did you read the very first post on the page?

 

over looked it oh no

 

interesting cuz i have a 93 4.0L 5 speed and it only has 1 cat i believe and a muffler. course where i live in BC we dont have air care or emissions, so i could flip my exhaust manifolds upside down and run 2- 4 foot pipes up through the hood for an exhaust and they wont bug ya.. there's a ton of straight piped gassers and diesel here that are loud and they dont get bugged.


EDIT: sorry it has 2 cats. i was under it today and noticed it.

 

lol damn canadians calafornia should yell at you guys then not us. j/k



P.S. I just ran my truck through emissions no cats no muffler and I passed lol. The lady asked me what that smell was and I told her raw fuel she just laughed all they do here is plus in a computer and make sure you have no CEL

 

Its Wiscansen! what did you expect?

 

IM a obd2 and safty inspecter in NC and in your case its a 93 wich means you are safty inspection only not obd2 you dont get pluged up to a computer and sent to the state gov.
I dont know about your state.
IN NC I would only go under your truck and "look" and if i felt like a dick and did not get any the night beffor than i would fail you for not having it.
but 99% of the time i would not give a **** and pass you with out looking at any thing. BUT if its relly loud
(after removing cats) the inspecter will know right away and look...I had a super charged big block cobra come in and it was relly loud my boss told me to fail it I DID not want to but...)all he had was borlas and turn downs
