2000 Ford f150 flowmaster no cats

[tomfan180]

Hey man i just bought a 98 f 150 reg cab and i want to put flowmaster daul exhaust on it and air intake. do you know if ill have to put a chip in the truck for the intake?

[fordman0894]

sounds nice. how'd you get your exhaust like that. did you cut out the cats an weld in pipe? or can you buy a header back true dual system? i have a 02 f150 4.6 an want to get true dual with no cats an new headers. cats are clogged headers an exhaust pipe are rusty so i want to replace it all but all i can find are cat back systems. i apriciate any advice/help

[coltonwithano]

dude it sounds like the mustang in bullit

[TherrienH]

sounds awesome dude, way better then the super 40 series i got with no cats, go check it out

[f150man55]

damn!!!! nice sound!!! nice like how it pops when you shift 5.4 riight? do you have a single inlet dual outlet with tips straight back?

[dartboy318]

its a 4.6. And no, its true duals into 2 flowmasters and pipes out the back.

[f150man55]

wow! ive got a 4.6 as well, and sweet!!! sounds good as hell

[Foxracingcorporation]

did your check engine light come on when you took your cats off?

[dartboy318]

yep sure did

[0113TMoney13]

@dartboy318 do u think my check engine light would come one if i took one cat off?

[meanstreak1977]

@0113TMoney13 yes

[0113TMoney13]

@meanstreak1977 damn, well to make the it sound better is worth it for me

[meanstreak1977]

@0113TMoney13 It's not a big deal if you live in a state without an emmission's check program. Unfortunatly I'm in Texas and a check engine light is an automatic safety inspection fail.

[0113TMoney13]

@meanstreak1977 see my truck is in my moms name. the country she lives in has emmissions, the county i live in doesnt

[0113TMoney13]

@0113TMoney13 but i dont know what im gonna do, but thanks for the advice

[ibent96]

@0113TMoney13 my friend took 2 cats off and left to on on his 2001 f150 he got his exhaust redone he got the left cats cut off and run out the back with dynomax bullets he took the o2 sensor from the pipes with no cats and drilled another hole in the pipe with the cats and placed the o2 sensors back to back in the same pipe so both o2 sensors were reading OK and it gave the truck almost like to different tones it poped and rawred at the same time

[ibent96]

@dartboy318 how does it run with out the cats

[mrpomerleau]

i have true duals with cherry bombs at the moment but was thinkin about goin to the flowmaster 40 series. i want mine to sound more like yours but the difference is its dumped b4 the rear axle with 45 turn downs. you think the bends in your pipes versus mine being pretty much straight would make a significant difference in sound? or would mine sound similar

[dartboy318]

if your talking about puttin the flows on and leaving it dumped compared to mine running out the back, then yes it will be slightly different. its gunna be more of a deeper hollow sound almost (best i can describe LOL). but its still gunna have that flowmaster sound to it for sure.

[mrpomerleau]

Thanks man appreciate the input!

[17biker17]

i have a 99 f150 5.4 v8 if i get it true dualed and keep all 4 cats on will it be this loud or louder or what cause i listened to a vid with true duals all 4 cats on and it was way louder than this so idk what to do. and does true dual mean their is changes in the motor where it comes out or it just changes where the cats go into one pipe and true dual means keep it in two? idk help me out thanks!

[dartboy318]

Making it true dualed with all 4 cats wont make much of a difference in sound. The only way to make it louder is to take cats off. and also it depends on the cameras audio of how well it picks up sound. my camera sucks balls lol. and true duals basically instead of having a y-pipe going into a single muffler u have 2 pipes comin off the manifolds into 2 mufflers. but trust me.....if u leave the cats on it wont make much of a difference. for loud, take off cats ;) hope this helps!

[17biker17]

thanks! so yours has no cats and when the left side pipe runs across to the right side, is that where the two pipes start and stay seperate and then have two flowmasters or is it like normal where the two sides go into one and you only have one flowmaster that is single in and dual out or hows yours go?

[dartboy318]

mine is where the 2 pipes start and stay seperate......thats the true dual setup. as where it goes into 1 flowmaster and dual outlets is not true duals.

[17biker17]

alright but is that 2 pipes start up by the motor before the cats or right after the cats? like where the two sides meet you just start them in teo pipes so both sides dont touch?

[dartboy318]

yeah they start before the cats. exactly!

[mrpomerleau]

sounds sick as hell!

[dartboy318]

thanks man!

[chevyz7109]

What kind of flowmaster is it? 40 or 44

[dartboy318]

regular 40 series

[jihadsquad07]

is your truck stick??? i thought you could only get the V6 model in a stick

[dartboy318]

yessir its a stick. yeah not to many were made v8/stick combos. its awesome!

[jihadsquad07]

cool

[LIlbulldog2233]

yours is a 4.6 right? mine is a 5.4 so im guessing if i took the cats off it would be louder than yours is

[dartboy318]

yeah its a 4.6. ur 5.4 would probably be louder

[LIlbulldog2233]

haha nice i really like the way yours sounds, idk what it would sound like with my glasspack

[dartboy318]

almost like this......just more poppy

[LIlbulldog2233]

but doesn't that kinda F you with inspection? did you have to bend the tubing any?

[dartboy318]

nope, Indiana doesnt have the smog testing any more. its still illegal......but only if u get caught ;)

[LIlbulldog2233]

i love the way it sounds, so this may be stupid but how did you remove the cats did you saw em off and hollow em out and weld em back on or just weld pipe back in place

[dartboy318]

sawed the cats off and just replaced it with tubing!

[dixiemudnut]

[stangfan96]

[stangfan96]

[stangfan96]

[dartboy318]

[Trent25346]

[RidgeRunner88]

Did you remove all 4 cats or just 2?

[dartboy318]

[RidgeRunner88]

And it still runs good... I might have to do this to my 5.4L...

Your 4.6L sounds VERY healthy!

[reallysorry7191]

[shredderman4]

[dartboy318]

[shredderman4]

oh really what size flowmaster? thats it?

[dartboy318]

they're both 2 1/2 inch flowmaster 2 chambers. thats it!

[shredderman4]

[jason23296]

are you talking about the catlitic converters? If you aRE I can't do that here in Pennsylvania. They have yearly inspections on all trucks and cars including emissions

[JohnsonF150]

Did u have to take the spare tire out with the dual pipes out the back?

[JohnsonF150]

Ahh ok w waz lookin at the exhust system for my 2001 f150 with the 5.4 in it and this gives me good idea of what it will sound like. thanks.

[JohnsonF150]

Thats sound pretty Bad ass man!

Whats the truck got for a motor?

[dartboy318]

justa 4.6!

[mexoman10]

Question. Did your check engine light come on when you cut the cats out?

[dartboy318]

Yes it did. i never put in mil eliminators and it still runs fine.

[ndubb1]

u should rev match it wen u down shift, sounds cool and less wear on the clutch

[skeeter3436]

Now thats what a real mans truck sounds like

[350AmericanMuscle]

Damn i love it when you downshift it sounds so awesome! Want my GMC to sound like that!

[Camokid360]

cataylic converters, its easy to take them off to.

[Camokid360]

[123ewq]

[chadfordman]
