Help me understand
I am tryng to understand the whole exhaust/muffler/cats stuff.... i was getting help from Weazel... and i made my own crappy picture on windows paint... Am I missing anything of major importance to undertand the exhaust?
Go easy on me, i'm a chick... :D http://i62.photobucket.com/albums/h8...tomoftruck.jpg |
thats pretty much it

You have them labeled as cats, There are actually 4 of them, 2 on each side, a smaller set right behind the manifolds and 2 larger underneath your cab.
Edit: There is also the O2 sensor connected to one of the cats as well. |
Actually... her truck is a 2007... her drawing is correct. One cat for each exhaust bank.
Yes. You got the pic correct. |
Odd, I didnt know they removed 2 of them? Is that just the 2007 or the 2005/6 as well?
|
Don't remember.. either 05+ or 06+.. 2006 and up for sure.
|
Cool... But when you guys talk about glass packs... what does that mean?
Weazel told me the less things that disrupt the pipe the louder it is, hence removing the cats, and muffler... but what are glass packs? Where do they go and what do they do? |

So is there a reason why people replace the headers/manifolds? Are the stock ones not good enough?
