full exhaust setup

i drive a 1993 xlt and i am wanting to re-do the exhaust. i would like to run long tube headers with cutouts to an h pipe with dual mufflers exiting in front of the rear wheels with 5x24 tips. im thinking about running summit glasspacks or dynomax race bullets but i dont know what i should do about cats, and what i should do about relocating the o2 sensor. would it work if i put it in the h-pipe since it recieves pulses from both headers? thanks

Crawl under your truck, and you'll see, if it's an F150, that it already reads from an H-pipe.

yeah it does i was just wondering if i would still get an accurate reading from a longer h-pipe between the two headers. i dont see why it wouldn't but i would want to put the cut-outs behind the H-pipe so the sensor wouldnt trip out right?

two things i suggest. Dont get the cable cutouts. the manual ones are nice, but they need a gasket otherwise your gonna have an exhaust leak

clamp the glasspacks, unless you want to cut off piping every time you replace the glasspacks. The piping will last longer then the glasspacks...

i was planning on the manual ones just for the price but thanks for the tip about clamping rather than welding. there is little price difference but i think i might go with the bullets because i heard a sound clip of them and it sounded pretty good

Are you wanting cutouts just for sound? If it is a stock truck they will only hurt your performance. Just a thought...

yeah i was just gonna run the cut-outs for sound but not all the time. just every once in a while because its illegal and i dont really feel like getting a ticket. anyone had any experience with the summit glasspacks as far as sound and quality?

The summit glasspacks are well made and sound great, but they are a louvered core, and will restrict the flow more than a muffler with a perforated core, such as:

Thrush glasspack
Dynomax Ultraflow
Dynomax Race Bullet
Magnaflow
