wheres my cat?????

just crawled under the mule and all I see is pipe and muffler no Cat!!!!! Is this possible and if I had one where would it be....I assumed it was inline infront of the muffler....also I saw someone on here said something about the predator and you can monitor some temp readings live while you drive.....anyone know if this is true and if so which ones?
Thanks

Some don't have cats. You can watch temps with a pyrometer gauge. A scanner will not show egt's.

You should be able to take a piece of straight 3.5" pipe and replace the muffler with it. That's what I originally did and it worked fine. Just make sure the guy doing it is a capable welder and you don't have any leaks.

Thanks
To get some live readings you will need a pc interface kit with your Predator. This allows you to connect your predator to a laptop in your truck. You can also record all the data on to your computer. You might want to send an email to Diablo asking them about what all you can record. www.diablosport.com

buckshot047,

For the most part all of the 1st six months of Super Duty production have cats, then it was only 6 speed manual trans trucks that had them from them on.
