I have been reading about exhaust on this board trying to deside what to go with on my 2002 quad cad 4.7L. My question is that I have read that there are three cats and when I looked under mine it only has one is this rare or does it have to do with where oyu purchased yoour truck.

Does everyone have three cats? Dakotas in Nebraska or at least all of them that I have looked under only have one.

Well the only thing that I can see on mine coming from the manifols is pipe until it goes into the y and then there is a cat or at least I think it is, it is about 6 inch diamter and then it goes back the the huge muffler. I was just wondering because I have seen that alot of members have removed the third cat and I think mine anly has one.. Is this a good thing? Will it sound good with duals? and if I only have one which muffler should I use.

I don't think I want it that load. I want the sound load out the back and not that annoying resonance in the cab.

How many cats you have depends on where you live and what emissions package is mandated by your state. California emissions and "50-state" emissions have three cats. "Federal" emissions only has one. I live in CT. I only have one on my '02. A buddy only has one on his '03. If I bought the same truck in Mass, I'd have three cats.

Won't removing all of the cats, be it one, two, or three, play hell with the computer because of the 02 sensor? I figure that's why they make high flow cats, so you're computer will still function properly.

You can remove the "main cat" on a 3 cat setup because there is no 02 sensor after it. The PCM will never know it's gone.
