travSHO Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I was at school today, I am in the ford asset program, and we were sitting around doing nothing so I unhooked the exhaust right behind the two spring things. (not sure of the official name but know there purpose.) IT SOUNDED COOL AS HELL. I wonder if there is any chance of ill effect? All the sensors and monitors and o2's and stuff are before that point. There is nothing behind the springs except resignators and mufflers. Anyone have any ideas??? btw I connected it back up and there were no cel or anything after running it disconnected for a few minutes.

Lesterg69 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 If you are talking about the flange where it bolts to flex pipe you are dumping exhaust straight from converter you will loose some backpressure and will dump VERY hot exhaust on the floor pan could melt your carpet do not recomend.

Kolk1 Posted February 23, 2013 Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 You could leave it disconnected, but I would at a minimum put a set of turn down on it, or have a set of new straight pipes made for that section you just disconnected. Turbo car, less back pressure is a good thing. Besides that, he still has 3 cats, and a center resonator to go through first before you get to the axle back.
