I have two converters on my 1994 Ford F-150, can i cut one out and just extend the pipe?
I have a 1994 Ford F-150 4.9L 2WD, I want to get it a deeper tone. I have a Raven muffler on it and it sounds good but it's not how i want it. They built older Ford trucks with two converters... and I was wondering if it would be bad for my truck if i took one out and just filled it in with my pipe?

AS LONG AS YOU HAVE ONE CAT ON THE TRUCK UR EMISSIONS SHOULDN'T CHANGE TO A DEGREE WHERE YOU'LL FAIL INPECTION. AND 9 OUT OF 10 TIMES, ITS NOT A DOUBLE CAT SYSTEM, ONE IS THE CAT AND THE OTHER IS A RESONATOR. I DID THE SAME THING TO MY FULL SIZE BRONCO AND ITS FINE. JUST MAKE SURE ALL THE PIPES AND FITTINGS R TIGHT OR U'LL GET AN EXHAUST LEAK

Despite the fact that it is illegal in most states to remove cat converters. Yes, you can do it to get a bit deeper tone but not by much.

I'd not recommend it bec it affects the emissions and also the engines compression and also gas mileage etc.
Hope that helps and best of luck.
