Cat Delete

Anyone know if Ford makes a cat delete for this setup?
1995 F-350 4x4 7.3L Deisel CC

Thanks, Derek

I doubt it .. you can purchase one from some of the sponsers on this site, or like me just go to a local muffler shop and have them weld a pipe to replace it. Or just gut it. Best price I've found so far is $100 so am still looking around as that seems a bit costly for a few feet of pipe. If I had a welder I would just do it myself, I can weld just don't have the equipment anymore.

That's my problem - no welding equipment.
Just had mine done at the muffler shop for 50 bucks.

Yep .. that's about what I'm willing to pay too. Just have to find a shop that's hungry enough for some business.

What a difference

In regards to the Cat delete, I took some advice from a mechanic friend and stopped by my local Muffler shop and said cut it loose, and WOW what a major difference in power, and performance, I have a 95 1 Ton crew Cab 4x4, and for a big fat ole` truck it will move out, cost for the pipe and labor was $70.00

Good luck and hope that you have the same great experience I did.

Crummy trk,

As a suggestion why not go to a over the hiway truck dealer and just get a section of pipe to replace the Cat with. Then get some wide SS band clamps and do the install. My stock has been off for so long I may have forgotten how it slips together but you could alway cut out with a sawzall too then clamp.

Surprised me too here in Abq that so many were willing to do it. I had mine cut out and straight pipe welded on before I went w/ my 4in aFe. It cost me $60 and they did it while I waited and watched. It made a noticeable difference in power and spool up.

I am as well. Its a around a 20K fine for the shop that gets caught. We won't do it on a customers vehicle and when we build custom exhausts if it had a cat from the factory we won't build a system without a cat.
