Stock cat exhaust pipes

[dakotanut]

Need some help. Do I buy, make or find someone with it to put back on my 06 Stang. Thanks.

Do you have the stock exhaust manifolds? If so, I would try to return to the original catted H pipe if you need the cats. Where are you located, I have my original one I could sell.

I have the stock manifolds. I'm in Texas. S.W of Houston.

Ok I'm in SC. I'm betting it wouldn't be worth shipping as it'd cost a fortune to ship.

I'm assuming that you have an offroad midpipe, so you could just plumb in a pair of high flow cats e.g. Pypes in the same location that the stock cats would have been. Then you'd pass the inspection and emissions.

Probably won't help you, but if someone else is interested I have original exhaust manifolds and H pipes with cats from 2010 4.6L. I am in NY

I wonder how much it would be to ship that piece?

It depends on what the state's requirements are. If the state in question does a visual inspection? they can legally fail the vehicle if they can determine the OEM mid-pipe has been removed or changed. There's also no guarantee that high-flow cats will pass the OBDII emissions test, especially those with 200-300 cells per square inch due to their higher flow rates over the stock cat's 600 cell per square inch. Personally, I really don't think that just plumbing in a pair of high-flow cats will be enough to pass the OBDII emissions test without adding a pair of spark plug non-foulers to the rear 02 sensors

That's why I'm trying to find the stock pipe with cats. I can do the nonfoulers too but rather have the stock pipe for the smog test.

Exactly why I keep my OEM mid-pipe with cats, just for that very that reason.

I bought the car this way and have no idea which of the previous 3 owners took them off.

There's got to be a salvage yard nearby somewhere...make a trip & pull some parts. Hell, we still have my son's 2016 stock exhaust hanging/taking up space in my garage...there are stock exhaust parts everywhere...just have to look/hunt.
