Question for TEAMMUDD!
Teammudd, it seems like you know a lot about exhaust issues. So heres my question. I have an 00 f-250 with the V-10, it is an off road truck mainly for hunting and mostly around the ranch, I emptied out the cat (to avoid starting fires in the feilds) and welded the empty core back in. There was a increase in power! 90k so it could have been plugged! However there is quite a drone at certain rpms. Im wondering if instead i should just run a peice of pipe in its place? Im thinking that would also be a smoother flow for the exhaust instead of it hammering around in that cat case? Thanks for any input!

I think that cat quiets the exhaust down quite a bit so i figured the 70 would be my safest bet for keeping it toned down without the cats help. The truck i had before was a straight piped 01 cummins, so the quietness is nice for hunting after two years of that noisy beast!
