hey.. Ihave a 93 Bronco with a 5.0 in it and the exhaust has basicallty rotted of the bottom of my truck!! so what does this mean... NEW BIGGER BETTER ONE!!

I would really love to convert over to dual exhaust, for the look, the sound, and I will eventually be putting a charger on.. possibly... what I'm wondering is.. what should I do... I'm worried about the air tubes on the cat.. .its single exhaust now.. can I convert to dual with 2 cats and an "H" pipe or something.. should I go with a cat with a single in, and 2 ports out?? 2 in 2 out... I'm kinda of lost... any adivice you can give me would be great

I'm jusr worried about what to do with the air tubes... the one on my truck now is broken off.. could that be why the motor stalls out on me all the time?

Thanks again as always!

I had a '92 F-150 with a 5.0. I also ran true duals. I went with Heddman full length headers, into a high flow cat (2 cats) and had the air tube hooked to one of the cats. Then I ran true dual straight pipes to 18" slash cut 3.5" tips. I had 2.25" pipes.

 

If you leave the stock manifold, or go with shorty or long tube headers, I would run a good true dual system. I just ordered mine, and I went Magnaflow all the way. You only need 1 cat to have the air injection tube. After that, make the left bank (drivers side) of the exhaust come across right after the transmission. This is assuming htat you have a gas tank in the way on the drivers side. After that, go with an x-pipe and either 2 SI/SO mufflers, or 1 DI/SO. This is what I got, and this is what my setup is going to look like.

94305 - 2 1/4" Magnaflow SS Catalytic Converter
94315 - 2 1/4" Magnaflow SS Catalytic Converter with Air
10790 - 2 1/4" Magnaflow 12" Long SS X-Pipe
14315 - 2 1/4" Magnaflow SS Muffler x2
35105 - 3 1/2" Magnaflow SS Tip x2

 

Uh, I hate to ask this. But I'm not mechanically inclined, so what's the purpose of a catalytic coverter? My pickup doesn't have it, it has dual exhaust and sounds very nice. But anyways, that's off the subject. What is the purpose of cats?

 

Hi bleed welcome to the boards

The purpose of a catalytic coverter is to remove harmful emissions from the exhaust system and they take out unburned fuel out of the exhaust system and this is why they get extremely hot, and should not be messed with unless you really need too In my opnion. An Exhaust system without cats sounds badass but you can sacrifce low end and it's also illegal

Thanks, and it's great to be here. I never knew that it sacrificed anything, now I know. As far as it being illegal, I know. The muffler shop said it was, but they did it anyway. And now, they don't do that anymore. lol I want to make my pick-up louder, does adding a straight pipe make it louder? I've got glass-packs on it now. It's loud now, mainly cause the glass packs are short. But it ain't loud enough! lol
