i had the 3rd cat and resonator removed. its true duals with two flowmaster 40 series mufflers. i got it at a place called arrow truck and muffler in hertford nc. the guy has a bunch of sho's so he was perfect for the job it took 2 days for him to do it and it ran 500 bucks
Can we can a pic of the pipes coming off the cats? I'm still a bit skeptical on the "TRUE DUAL" aspect. btw, your check engine light is on.... might that have something to do with the exhaust? Without a proper tune, you may actually be losing power due to a lack of scavenging. It does sound good though.
As far as that wire goes, there is a grommet on the side wall btween the ebrake pedal and the sjb I used for the hood pin switch on my starter.
Looks like you did away with the stock y-pipe, as well as the 3rd cat. Here's where you might be a little upset. Ford put the cat for the rear cylinders on the rear exhaust manifold, and not the y-pipe, so you still have 1 cat on the car. Probably not all that balanced at the moment. :noes:
3 cylinders are exhaling through a straight pipe, and 3 are exhaling through a cat. Not balanced.
He either needs to have a cat on each cylinder bank, or none. In the case of a G4 duratec, putting the stock cat back on the front cylinder bank is a FAR easier solution than trying to remove the rear cat.
Your vulcan has 2 cats, both located on the front y-pipe. In comparison, your g3 y-pipe has a much nicer design than the 4th gen y-pipes.
The stock cats are not that restrictive. It's the y-pipe collector that's the problem.
Also, have you ever tried removing the rear manifold/cat on a G4 duratec? You come very close to removing the whole engine just to get to it. Making a catless rear exhaust manifold work (from a g3) is a whole other can of worms.

That is a nice sounding car, I am going to do the same thing but I'm puting on a muffler with a dual pips comeing off of it.
