Best is to take it to an exhaust shop and have full duals put on.
No aftermarket kits, custom bent 2.5 duals. Dump the 4 cats for 2 high flows (I have Magna flows) Either Flowmaster or Magna flow mufflers ( I have 1 dual in dual out Magnaflow muffler) . I have headers but you don't need it .

If you have a 1st gen expy they should be able to run the drivers side pipe right next to the passenger side pipe where the muffler was originally. They can install mufflers turned 90 degrees in that area and everything should fit fine. If you have a 2003 or newer, the pipes need to go underneath the rear suspension in order to work...

don't know if you still need a reply.

go to another muffler shop, good shops can run dual out the back. the driver side will need to go up over and around the rear suspension. not a big deal.

i have a single in dual out magnaflow.

Can I remove the cats totally without issue on my sec gen 03 5.4 2 valve. I want to just unplug the o2,s in the exhaust. Will that hurt or help anything. Or do I have to fit the o2 sensors in the exhaust some were with the cats removed? I dont car about codes as the lights been on for years I just black it out. i know when its running good or bad.Also we dont have emissions test were I live so not a problem there. Any advice on wether I can remove the cats without adding a cat back would be great.
