have em all chopped off and have a shop replace with some pipe and some high flow cats! that should fix your plugged cat problem and still not set of a CEL

What about my rear o2's, what do i do with them. In my Z28 I had them tuned out of the ECM, can I do the same with a f150? Also what size is the piping for the high flow cats?

More info on the truck? ow are they clogged? And we do have emissions laws in FL, made up for the whole nation. If all 4 are bad I suggest 2 hi-flows to remain legal, keep the CEL away, and not sound too obnoxious.

2003 f150 4.2L 5spd 4x4. Tell me if this would work out? The cats closest to the manifolds gut, then cut off the rears and put pipe in there place, buy MIL Eliminators to trick the computer, then do some sort of catback?
