Poor performance

If you don't have inspections/emissions testing where you live, hollow out the cat, and put it back on, call it a day. (these engines typically pass emissions even without the cat anyway...) The PCM may or may not whine about it. My 96 never did......
I suspected that was the issue with the throttle cable. Seen that before.... The cables DO stretch over time though..... the zip tie trick works just fine for it. Since yours is frayed like that though, I would be tempted to replace it.

Muffler controls the sound an how loud or quiet it is. Hollowing it the car shouldn't cause it to be more loud. As for that cable they are a son of a gun to pull. I pulled one and never used it lol

weird I always thought the cat still helped make it quiet well in that case what is the most quiet muffler for these trucks? I don’t care about what it sounds like more than hearing my wife complain. I ran straight pipes for years on other cars and she hated it lol kid love it on the truck though

Is that a good rule of thumb? The larger the muffler the more quiet? I couldn’t care less what brand or type as long as my wife doesn’t give me “the look” I

There it is boys and girls!
proof that just because you just replaced something doesn’t mean it’s not the culprit!
she’s loud but she hauls *** now!
now, there’s a chance it’s still my fault... could be anything from injectors sending too much fuel to spark plugs being awry and causing excessive heat to exit the engine and literally just melting my cat to hell...
luckily I got a new pack of plugs gonna swap them later today while I get a new cat and out it on myself this time. Then check the injectors
