Debating Stacks

So I live in New York and I have been debating on putting stacks on my truck, all of the sets I have found tell me that they take the catalytic converter off, and of course all of the research I have done NYS does emissions etc. so do I just have to know a mechanic well in order to get by or am I just worrying too much?

I drive a 2002 Ford F-350 7.3L Powerstroke Diesel if that matters.

Ive never crawled under a powerstroke but i would imagine you wouldnt need to take the cat off. Any other truck i have seen has the cats well before the end of the cab, which is where you would need to start modifying the exhaust. If i were you i would just install them myself, if you have the stones to cut a huge hole in the bed of your truck that is.

Don't, and impress your friends by telling them you considered it, but decided you wanted to still be able to haul things with your truck.

If i read the original post correctly then he was not asking what others thought about him installing stacks on his truck. Instead he was asking if it was feasible without removing the cat(s).

you should be able to,, especially if you have a crew cab.. the "cat" isnt really a cat its just a particulate filter... if you could get away with it, take it off, they rob lots of power....
