Dude, save some pennies, dont go out to eat for a good few weeks and stay away from coffee shops, and get a highflow cat! They sound much much better! I am still waiting to get mine installed which reminds me i need to get all my goodies installed by Chris soon, but i would save up and buy the real deal!

Heres a step-by-step process : http://ironchefbadass.com/%7Emysites...howto/precats/

jrak raises a good point hah, this is the"cheap" way to go but full headers and a main cat would be the ideal way to go

you mean Ford is making high flow cats in the manifolds?

He did say PRE cat not main cat. He would have to starve hims self for a few weeks to afford a set of MSDS headers if he wanted the full kit. So be careful about what and how you post and waste peoples time reading your misinformation.

I gutted my Precats mostly because they were clogged. It's a pretty simple and Cheap mod.

i do agree with the high flow cat idea, but as Jrak said, i did say pre-cats. it does indeed look fairly simple. my one question on it is whether the o2 fooler is required on all years, or if its for specific years, or if you straight up have to do it. other than that, it looks like a smashin' good time!

I think you only need the mil elims on the 99-00. Correct me if I'm wrong someone. I still have mine in my ash tray for a year. Never put them on.

no worries. so the MIL elims are required for 99-00? anybody have confirmation on this? mine is a 99, so i would really like NOT to have to make them. i spose there is always trial and error.

99's need them for sure. I have a 99.
