i dont think the rear two are cats, i think theyre just resonators. i could be wrong though.

________ _______ ______ _____
02________Cat_______02______Cat______


and not put
_____ _____ _____ ____
02_____Cat_____Cat_____02____

so the last one may be a resonator not a cat

i went under my car to grab my sisters dumbass cat and i decided to look at where my headers lead to my exhaust and
I HAVE 4 CATS!!!
WTF?! why?
i mean 2 i can understand but 4?
seems like a little over kill?
could i get away with taking two off? is this the reason my car is sooooo slow? is it choking itself to death with cats?
No getting rid of the cats is mostly for sound, and because uncatted pipes are cheaper...you may pick up like 2 or 3 hp by removing them, unless they were clogged to all hell, then they woulda slowed you down. Otherwise your car is slow because of the fact it has 150 hp the sn95's just arent that quick. Start modding

There are 4 because of heat reasons. To remove the pollutions a large cat is needed and that gets real hot, so ford split them into two to reduce the heat
