dual catalytic converters?

[Redneck Youth]

me and my brother were looking under my truck and we think we see 2 cat's, im questioning why ford try to make this truck so quiet... in the future the exhaust will be modified but its just got me thinking...

More than likely it has 3.

The cats have nothing to do with quieting the truck. It needs two to make it pass emissions.

The later 5.0L Explorers have four! Know of at least one that just ran them with no mufflers after that.

Um, no?

Not stupid, maybe a bit liberal, but not really, and def not crap.

Cats don't hurt mileage on fuel injected cars. And they do help the quality of the tailpipe emissions.

Take your fear-mongering elsewhere and don't talk about things you aren't informed about unless you are asking to be taught something

Ya, pal....lets kill mother earth a bit more by removing the crap?? The emissions are not liberal. Most likley your truck will run like crap with it off due to the computer that controls your electronics. Emissions have been in place to help save our world. Too bad some other countries don't do the same thing. As a retired Special Ops Combat diver I have lived all over the world and I speak 7 languages fluently. Years ago when I was in Germany the Autobahn was such a neat place to just get on and drive like a mad man. The gorgeous forrest were so close at one time to the roads and such a beauty to behold!! Germany had no pollution crap on their cars until people realized that the forrest were eroding up to 100 yards away from where they used to be. Now Germany has emissions. We got to start somewhere. Some of the other countries I have been in don't care about their own health and it shows in the land and the people.

Yeah the cats have nothing to do with sound... well they do a little but they were put on to make sure the engine doesn't spit out hydrocarbons and that its running in top shape, I don't know if you bike or jog on the sidewalk but without cats you would be choking and dead on the side of the road after a few miles.

I did that with glasspacks on my F-150, love the sound. It is a setup begging to be made into true duals.

I take cats with me everytime I jog just in case I need a snack.
