Previous owner cut cats off... now what? 07 f150

My truck sounds like garbage because the previous owner cut the cats off. Not only that, my check engine light is on. they took the o2 sensors off (unplugged them) and threw them away im guessing. What is my best route to get this thing back to normal and get the check engine light off. I saw some universal cats but would that be ok with my 02 sensors and make the light go off? I have to do something soon cause it sounds like crap and i cant stand having a check engine light on. Thanks guys!

If anyone could post up some links, that would be VERY GREAT!! im having hell finding these things.

Well first you will need two of these,

And secondly, you will need O2 sensors OEM part #F6CZ-9G444BA which will run you about $50 bucks.

Go to an exhaust shop, have the hi-flow cats put in, and the O2 sensors go right after the new cats, not before.

I'll tell you this... I got it for a VERY good deal. I buy from car auctions all the time and my dad owns a body shop. I prolly wont have it for a year or so and then ill sell it. it had a few minor problems but regardless the deal i got could not be beat!
