Exhaust Converter Question
My truck (97 F150 SuperCab 4x4 4.6L) is currently in the shop getting the exhaust system worked on. Two of the converters are shot. The mechanic ( a family member luckily) priced the new Y pipe at $1100. He is not sure but had an idea of replacing the stock system with 2 Stage 3 converters( instead of the 4) and dual exhaust. He doesn't know if this will mess with the O2 sensors. Anyone else ran something like this? (The new way is half the price). Any help would be appreciated.

$1100 for a new Y-pipe? Is he out of his mind?
Try a different mechanic. If you're trying for a new sound and need new converters, a muffler shop can start with the Y-pipe and do everything behind that for a good bit less than $1100, that's ridiculous!
