ah. so if you only delete one set of them they still will kick off a SES light? even with highflow replacments after the stock primarys? i havnt gotten a look under yet but how are the O2 sensors arranged? do the rears only read post catylist performance or do they do more? i am getting ride of that stock trash can under there though lol that thing is HUGE!! lol

from my understanding it depends on where the 02 sensors are located...and im not sure if the rear sensors only read performance or how much is burned

I know on the 4.6 the O2 sensors are before and after the 1st pair of cats on both banks. So nothing is measured on the 2nd pair of Cats. But as many of you have seen. All 4 cats are required here in California... land of the air Nazis.

I have an 04 expedition and after I do the gotts mod or install a CAI my next project will be the exhaust. What are ya'll running for exhausts - and how happy have you been with them? Anyone running duals (not sure if you can on an Expy or not - Im newto expeditions)...

I have a local custom exhaust shop that does good work so I'll probably go through them but just wanted to hear from others experiences.

Depending on price, and what I have for $$$, Im going to explore cat back systems, or a new system with a high flow cat. Id love to go with headers as well, but not sure if I have that much to spend...

I have the 40 series flow master with a resonator. Not super loud because of resonator but we travel to Mexico a lot and I don't wanna travel 11 hrs of a loud exhaust. And we have kids ImageUploadedByTapatalk 21365365039.132987.jpg
