I hate all of you for having easy trucks
Does any one else have a CA emissions truck? Basically like I’ve explained before I get to have two cats instead of one. I could run true dual very easily. My muffler is a DI/SO . I also have four, yes four O2 sensors. It’s like twice the fun for half the performance. So here’s the question does anyone know what it is going to take to install pacesetter long tubes? Or should I forget about the hassle and install shorties and have the Cat-back reworked for true duals. I think it would be sweet to install LT with true duals since I’m already halfway there. If I do the long tubes could I put the cats on right after the headers and then y-pipe, then muffler, then tips? I will probably gut the cats while I’m there. I’d love to just throw the damn things away but I don’t think I can get an exhaust shop to do the work without them.

You don't need a "Y-pipe" for true duals. The Y pipe is for running the headers into a single exhaust.

U cant go to long tubes... you wont pass the smog ****'s... your best bet is to do shorties and bigger exhaust tubing all the way. also, you have 3 cats... check under the passenger side floorboard... if it's missing, someone already cut it out and you could have issues at smog time.

no you wont be cutting them off , unless you want head aches , lost power , throw CEL , MPG will drop.. the so called cali trucks must be in every state ? cause my 01 dakota have 2 cats after the exhaust manifold then theres a resonator but even in pa alot of shops wont mess with it , after the resonator sure its all game... but all trucks from 98 on up maybe 2000 and up? i gotta check but they all have 1 cat after each manifold .. its not cali.. its the EPA and tough laws they put on trucks . plus those stock cats that are on your truck flow pretty damn good i would not dump em..
