Hey, Grog,

Not sure when the MoCo started using cats in the exhaust ('010?), but for sure the header I picked up, which was advertised as a take-off from an '09 FB, didn't have a cat, and it was completely unmolested/unmodified.

When I bought mine they were sold as 08 take-offs and had the cat. I bought them from a guy in California.

Has anyone removed their mufflers and then just drilled into the cat? If you have, what can be expected as far as drilling into the cat material? Is it a soft? Is this a good idea to try........

Good luck with your project.

Do you have tips on your mufflers? Are they Rush slip ons?
