Hi all, I currently have a Flowmaster Super 10 rear axle dump with a massive 4"x15" tip. I looked under my truck the other day and saw 2 cats, I'm wanting to delete those, but how do I go about? It's such a tight space! How will deleting these effect torque? I know how it will effect horsepower, but I need to know about back pressure, and if I do a delete what do I do with the O2 sensors? Will I need a tune? Thanks
Btw 4.6L V8 3V

It is federally illegal to remove the catalytic converters.

Do u race? Do you run water instead of coolant? Full slicks?? No? Lol. Me either. Do yourself a fav. Call 5star and get a programmer and get your truck tuned. They can make it the way u want it. Your just gonna have problems by hollowing out your cats. Or cutting them out. If your looking to get louder. Start looking at long tube headers. I'd leave your cats. But that's me. ^ it is also illegal. Just sayin. Good luck

I'm looking at long tube headers, where would the cats go would I use one or both? And the o2 sensors! If you have any pictures that would be great!

Last night I went on ahead and bought a tuner, i dont know about the long tube headers, I think it's pretty loud since I set off a few car alarms yesterday with my exhaust! 😳
Maybe in the future...

There cool if u don't like customs tunes. It works a lot better if they tune it specifically to your vehicle. But anyways. Good luck with it

Wow, how sad that after all the questions you have asked here, and all the info you have been given here, that you would buy a crappy ass flashpaq and think you could use it with longtube headers.

It comes as with pre programmed tunes, I can go to the website and completely configure it to be 100% custom! With this being my first time to tune I don't want to screw up my engine, once I do a few parameters I will continue on downloading the custom software.

They have updated features. But not custom. U may have to send your device to them for that. And they "may" b able to help. May.

If your going turbo. You'll need some extensive sled time to dial in. And I think if that is the route you are going to go. An upgrade you will need

On the 2010 4.6L V8 3V the radiator fluid and stock air box are connected, I'm wanting to install a CAI but this is rather alarming and I'm apprehensive about this. Can I still install a CAI? Without removing the lower portion or if you have any solutions let me know

Without removing the lower portion or if you have any solutions let me know those are a waste of money anyway

Think what you want but with my roommate and I being mechanical engineers we might install a turbo on my truckThen why did you buy the Flashpaq?

FORCED INDUCTION (TURBOCHARGERS OR SUPERCHARGERS)Turbochargers and Superchargers drastically change the dynamics/performance of theengine, and its fueling/timing needs. Additional hard parts and custom tuning are requiredto run a forced induction system on an engine that was originally designed as a NaturallyAspirated (NA) engine.
The Flashpaq does not support the addition of an aftermarketforced induction kit.

I can go to the website and completely configure it to be 100% custom! .

Q: Does Superchips support custom tuning?
A: No, custom tuning will not be offered at this time.

That's what the installation instructions are for.

"At this time" quote quote, I'm new to engine tuning and maybe later I will go to a custom tuner

Because you are new to everything, and won't read the information that will help you, you should have gone with an sct tuner which is custom tuned by a shop.

Superchips has never offered custom tuning
