Have '95 5.0 and the catalytic converters seem UBER clogged. I took it to a local exhaust shop and they told me that my car has SIX CATS and they quoted me over a GRAND to swap them out. I laughed and walked out. So when I got home I crawled under the car and I swear on all things holy, I only see TWO. As far as I know the car is stock.
My question is...how many cats came on the 1995 GT stock? And if it really is SIX...do I really need them? I live in Hawaii and we don't do emissions here, so that isn't really an issue.
Any ideas that anyone may have would be GREATLY appreciated.
Maybe dude was just trying to take advantage of the lil girl that walked into his shop?
If your car is 100% stock you would have 4 cats. You might have missed the top 2 cause they are easy to miss if you don't look hard since they are small.

Guys, it looks like there are 4, but aren't the first two just resonators?
If you don't have emissions testing, then just replace the factory H-pipe with an aftermarket one that does not have cats.
Or, if you wish to keep them you can get an aftermarket H-pipe with them.

Thanks all i lowered the car this winter and it's hard to see what's doing under there, so I probably did miss the ones in front.
The only thing that has me concerned about getting an o/r X is that I don't know how loud it's gonna be. I totally dig loud exhaust (my favorite sound ever actually) but the houses out here are like glorified sheds. Lol. They have absolutely NO insulation and those crummy jalousie windows. I just don't want my neighbors to be plotting my murder when I leave for work at 4:30am. Ha ha ha
I figured while I was at getting the exhaust done, I would get some new mufflers as well. I have a thing for flowmaster but I've heard great things about so many other brands too.
Think an o/r X and some 40 series Flows would be too obnoxious without cats?
thanx yes, i love them. but im worried about tickets now. but a couple will be worth the glorious music they create. if you look on the flowmaster website i believe they have a chart with all there mufflers in order from loudest to quietest. we also have a couple exhaust threads in the pictures and videos section.
better pick wisely. we dont wanna be down a new member cause of a p'ed off neighbor!

Yeah, be careful what you pick! I live in a "retirement community" as I like to call it. Got complaints all the time and ended up with 4 different combinations on the car before I found one no one would complain about! I had longtubes with catted x roush mid pipe with resonators and Borla stingers for the axel back, for the final combination and no one complained. Or they just perfected that over the Harley at 0430! Lol

FINALLY ordered parts from AmericanMuscle. Ended up going with the BBK catted X pipe. I had planned on ordering muffs at the same time but I have taxes, car payment, insurance AND rent all coming out of my account on the 1st.
I hate being a grown-up sometimes...
Oh well, there's always next paycheck. Woo.
