Bad cats on 07 v6
I need new cats for my mustang, it's fully stock and a shop here in tucson quoted 450 to put new cat in. What's the cheapest route I should take? For that much I could get an aftearket exhaust

Under acceleration my car would just revv and seem to not go anywhere, I thought it was a tranny problem so I took it to a shop and turns out it's clogged cats. They disconnected my exhaust and took it for a test drive and it ran perfect. Right now I have my o2 sensors out so the little bit of air flow will get me to work everyday until I get new cats.

If it revs, its not clogged cats...
How many miles on this V6 that it has clogged cats?
100,000 miles?
300,000 miles?
A half a million miles?
New mechanic time for you...

Check with a Ford dealer. Cats are covered after the normal warranty expires. Something like 8 years or 80k miles. You need to find out why the cats failed.
