Default 5.0stanger was right

My problem was a fuel filter. But I was also told that I need new Converters. Alot of people tell me to cut them off and replace with straight pipe. They say I'll get a few horses out of it and it'll change the sound a bit. Should I do this or go ahead and replace the Converters for $624?

Hey thanks for the credit!! LOL

If you want to lose you cats(I would remove them if you don't have emissions) just buy an off road H pipe or X pipefor $100 to $200 depending on the brand and you will be all set, they don't have cats and will bolt right in.

or gut them, .They are heavy, so an off road will benefit/

when we had emmisions, I thought I had cats cause I seen them. I passed emissions with the old 302, shortly after finding out they were gutted.

$624!?!? jeeeezz! Just buy a new midpipe with high flow cats for like $350 from summit or jegs.. Don't pay a shop that much. It's only 8 nuts and bolts!

$624 is outragious. Like everyone else said just get an off road h or x pipe. Summit has their brands cheap.. There H is like $110. And there X is like $170.
