Cat removal

[jimiSnaps]

I have a 2012 the cat keeps getting stolen from me. Does anybody know if a straight pipe will cause any problems

when it comes to smacking thieves, i have found a straight pipe works fine.

You'll need a tune to shut the 02 sensors off and I don't know what else, maybe talk to 5 star or JDM

Motion sensor flood lights and a big looking security camera works good too.

Does your county require OBDII emission testing, because you won't pass without cats.

1. Vote republican so we have a border.
2. Keep your cats, removing them doesn’t add performance and your truck exhaust smells much better with them installed. Install camera and motion detector lights like MTF suggested. Park in safe locations etc.

I'd move or get a garage

They make a spacer that you can buy that goes on the threads of your downstream O2 sensor. By moving the sensor out of the exhaust flow it changes the reading. All the Ecu looks for is that the downstream O2 sensor doesn't match the upstream sensor. Summit Racing has aftermarket hi-flow cats for way cheaper than stock Ford ones.

You could make it more difficult to remove by having a fabrication shop weld some rebar/cage around it.
