Anyone Make a Catless Midpipe for 5.0?

[elesthree]

Is there a company that makes a replacement mid pipe that deletes the factory cats?

I'd like to use the stock exhaust manifolds, and the stock cat back system. I'm planning on running boost and want it as quiet as possible.

please skip the emissions talk and I don't want long tubes.

Thanks

I thought Kooks made one but I could be mistaken

Kooks makes one that fits their longtubes. I havent seen one work with the stock exh manis.

I am very curious if a 2015-2020 would work. The only hiccup is going to be for P702 (2021+) the flange where the resonator section bolts to was changed so you’d need to modify one or the other to be compatible. I do not recall if the manifolds changed between Gen 3 and 4 engines though.

Edit: some googling of the manifolds makes it appear to be the same flange ends between both. The quick solution for the resonator piece is to get the 2015-2020 one but there’s a new cross brace on 2021+ that would require “flattening” the pipe in that area to fit. And I don’t know 100% if the resonator piece is exactly the same between generations. Basically though this is what I have been slowly coming up with for my own intentions. They make an electric cutout resonator delete for the last gen trucks and this was the hiccup in it working in ours. My perfect combo is an off-road y through stock exhaust with a cutout. This is what I had before on my 6.2 truck.

Could you post a link for the 2015-2020 pipe you're talking about?

That connects Kooks longtube headers to the OEM cat back.

Nobody does. Only option is a 2015-2020 piece and modify the flange that mates to the stock catback section. Just keep in mind that anything listed as "2015-2023" catless Y pipe involves doing this flange modification to any 21+ truck. It's like the companies didn't feel us 14th Gen folk deserve our own "bolt on" catless Y pipe.

edited…just noticed you want cat less.
I thought SPD made a cat less option but i guess not.
I found these. you still would need to address the flange swap for factory hookup or go with previous gen exhaust.

if you find something that works, please post it.

Thanks, I guess I'll need to find out what the flange flip is all about. Sounds like I'd need to cut the flange off and weld it back on upside-down or something.

I dont see why they wouldn't want to make a compatible pipe for the 21+...

2m fabrication makes them but you will need to cut and weld a male flange on to connect to a 21+ catback. Or just get a 15-20 cat back exhaust.

So it’s easier to get the 15-20 catless ypipe and just change the flange or add them?
Where can you locate the flange at?

Looks like 2M now offers the correct flange for the 21+ F150

Wow, read their faq. It's assholey and condescending enough to make me actively avoid doing business with them.

Negative, people who just recently ordered are saying they havent changed the flange despite what there site states and they just send a donut…

Thanks for the update! I'll cross them off the list then. No point in even contacting them based on their FAQ list. I'm not sure why they think that's a great way of doing business. Hopefully some other company steps up to the plate and manufacturers the mid pipes.
