Can I make these high-flow cats fit?
OK I'm getting my exhaust done next week...i saw these BBK high flow cats in the 4S section and am talking to the guy about buying them...however they were off an 87 5.0 mid-pipe...they are 2.5"...i was planning on going 2.5" piping anyway and figured these would give a bit better flow/be a little louder than the stock 4 cats...but idk if they would be able to hook up to the o2 sensors...can anyone help?
if not...can you guys tell me where i can get JUST high flow cats that have the hook-ups for the o2 sensors?...i want to do a complete manifold exhaust and get rid of the stock cats...btw i am going true-dual 2.5" piping and Force mufflers with turn-downs like AfrickanV6s...but a little bigger piping

those look like the ones on my mac h pipe, they will fit just make sure they weld them in towards the back of the h pipe and not right after the headers like a newb exhaust shop did to mine a while back. if you have them on the horizontal part of the midpipe youll be fine. looks like they chewed those up good getting them off, damn.

yea that's the thing...were there o2 sensors on the 5.0s?...he said that rubber hose just hooked up to a smog pump or something....god i feel like such a newb right now...i know i can have them welded on no prob (even with the rough edges...i'm sure they can take a grinder to em and smooth em out)...but it is just the problem of hooking up the 4 o2 sensors...i haven't been under there in a while and don't remember how they look/where they are

the o2 sensors go before and after the cats, they screw into the puiping, not the actual cat, so you'll actually just end up plugging the holes in the cats and have bung's welded in the pipes for your o2 sensors,,, if your going all custom, should be able to make those work no problem
