Well, I am new here and know nothing of fords, my father in-law wants to put a new exhaust on his 99 crew 4x4 s-box man-tran. He wants cheapest, and better sound. His has a Cat. on it. I found a nice turbo back kit from summit but it cuts out the cat. Here in CA diesels are smog exempt but I know Fed law prohibits removal of cats any way. If we go with a 4" kit and graft in the OEM Cat how will it affect performance, and sound?? He doesn't want to spend more than 300 on a system.

:confused:

PS wich is a better size 4" or 5"???

Thanks from a dodge guy!!

Thanks guys, its always nice to get help even when I am in "forbidden" :no: territory (Dodge/Cummins all the way way for me :D) But for my father in-law I guess Ill need help every now and then and here is where I intend to come.

The truck does have a CAT, either that or they chose to have two mufflers, one of which is football shaped. I think we have settled on cutting it out completely. If I can get a hold of stainless for the price DSTRBD says than it sounds like a winner! :D other wise aluminized is our only option. Ill shoot him a PM and see what he can get me.

Again I thank you guys!


D-C out! :cool:
