Oh wise ones....
On Rick’s Ranger Rig (97 4.0, 312,000), I want to change the single exhaust to true dual exhausts. The truck passes emissions now. With the other mods I’m doing, and mostly because I’m ancient, I can get an emissions inspection waiver. It’s only due for 2 more years in GA anyway. Two questions, and my only consideration is will the truck run properly, I’m not worried about the emissions laws, we’ll be exempt..
cat converters: right now, after the “y” pipe joins the two sides from the engine, it looks like there are two cats in a row, in series. I’ve never seen that before, is that right? If I swap to duals, will the truck run right without any cats?
O2 sensor: right now, the O2 sensor is downstream of the two cats. If I swap to true dual exhaust, where do I put the sensor and/or will it run right?
all help appreciated.
