Do I need 2 cat converters?

Hello. I have a 1985 and I am going to replace the whole exhaust system. There are 2 catalytic converters. Do I need both to pass emissions? One person told me one should do fine. Greg.


1985 F-150, Black with black fiberglass cap. 300 6. Aluminum mag wheels, BF goodrich tires.

If the truck was manufactored with 2 then to pass a inspection it would have to have both of them on. At least in Missouri it would.

It all depends upon state visual inspection laws. If you replace the two cats with a single 3way+air cat you will do fine on emissions tests. You might not pass the visual test. States differ from state to state.
