Expy mid pipe?

Is there a company out there that makes a cat-less midpipe for the Expedition? I have a 97 and was wondering if anyone has seen such an animal.

I'm not sure what you're asking about. What are you calling a "midpipe"?

There are 4 'cats' on the Expy... two for each bank of cylinders. Removing them is a violation of Federal Law, so I doubt anyone is going to publicly market a product that violates this law. Besides, removing them will give you a "check engine" light shining constantly- not to mention any negative operating symptoms that might show up.

If your cats need replaced, there are some kits out there that legally take you from 4 to 2 converters. These kits usually include the so-called "high flow" converters. So, if you're looking for performance, this is the way to go.

The pipe from the headers to the mufflers that includes the cats. They are very abundant on cars like Mustangs, Z28s and such. They are marketed as "off-road" such as drag racing. I want one so I can cut in some high flow cats and get rid of the restrictive stock cats. If I decide to run with no cats (off-road of course) there are MIL eleminators that turn the CEL off.

OK- now I know what you're talking about. I've not seen anything like that specifically for the Expy. Your best bet may be to have a shop custom fab something for you. However, you might find something for an F150 Lightening that will work. Give Mike a call at (540) 862-9515. If anyone can find what you're looking for, he can.
