So my front cat went bad and my rear one the guts are knocked loose not yet bad but i want to keep my truck legal. Would the magna flow mid pipe set up with cats be the best with no port and stock headers? (2000 4.0L V6) I want to keep it opened up, I've got the cam just waiting for the money to port and get headers.

i would just remove them

iv only had one vehicle that had cats on it and when i sold it they needed to be took off anyways because they were clogged up almost...my stepdad had the cats removed when he got flowmasters installed on my old f150 and my ranger didnt have them when i bought it

I've got a similar situation. Check engine codes tell me i have 2 bad cats...It says they are "low efficency." I have googled this a lot and come up with a lot of mixed answers. Some say its great to take them off and others argue that it reduces back pressure which the motor needs in order to run correctly...Still haven't got a solid answer.

for real leave the cats and remove the muffler it sounds bad ass thats what i did

I'm worried because it's true about burning up your valves if you don't have the back pressure but wondering if it would still burn up with one high flow cat.
