It's nice, the step is handy. It's For Sale next week. I need a winch bumper so a replacement bumper is on it's way.

I assume you got rid of the catalytic converter also? Comments? Notice any difference that could be attributed to the cat delete? Planning that for next week.

Yeah, the cats gone. The performance / mileage difference was small but noticable. Its a bit louder and you get way more turbo whistle. The thing sounds like a jet. Ya gotta love turbo whistle

Nice job Scott...

I have a question... I was told that in order to pull the engine (to replace the oil pan), the whole front end would have to come off. Obviously they managed to pull yours without this step. Was the extraction a hair pulling experience?

Thanx...

A Ford tech, who's a friend of mine, did the engine work. He got it out without removing the front end, just had to get the correct angle with the use of the engine hoist.

Was it hair pulling? He needed a vacation after the job but still talks to me
