Dual Exhaust
My son has a 1999 F150 4X4 short bed step side with the small V-8, that he wants to put true dual exhausts (manifold Back) on. What are the dangers of removing the catalytic converters, besides the legalities? Will it mess up the computer or effect the preformance or reliabilty of the truck?
Thanks
David

There have been a few topics about this same exact subject lately... unfortunatly some member(s) have ruined all these threads by posting very irritating posts again and again and again.
I'm just trying to avoid another flame war.

Considering that the '99 F150 has dual, dual catalytic converters, why not "true dual exhausts" that incorporate them?

Yeah, just cut the exhaust off before the y-pipe comes together. There is nothing illegal about that unless you live in California. Just leave the stock cats in place. The runs would not be equal length however, which partially defeats the purpose of true duals. If it were my truck, I would just use a dual outlet muffler, there are a few really good kits out there.
