I got my 7.3 on temp plates and it passed emissions.

I went to Avery Brothers in Wallingford and it scored 0.5% out of 20% allowed.

Now you can cut the CAT out and get some real performance from that beast.

Since my rear tire ripped my exhaust off the down pipe (the one from the turbo) my 7.3 has really wakened up.

Uh...

You'll have to point out the cat on my truck because I don't see one on my stainless turbo-back 4" exhaust. Only Cali trucks had cats as far as I know. At least on the SuperDuty trucks. I think they were able to do without the cat because of the split shots in the 99-03s.

That's good to know. My 97 has the largest CAT I have ever seen. Because the tire ripped the exhaust off the down pipe, I'm installing a Banks 4 inch exhaust. The cat is history, as soon as the new pipes come in.

EEeeewww. Banks. If you didn't already order check out MBRP. I've got one and I like it. And it's not half as expensive as Banks.
