Chuck - Glad you joined!

But, you may have missed the email I sent you asking you to go to the New Members Start Here folder, read the guidelines, and then post an introduction there. We do that because that's where we have the guidelines posted and we want everyone to have had a chance to read them because we will hold you to them.

Don't worry, many do miss them and we don't hold it against them. But we will park your question here until after your introduction.

You might be in a bind with a 302. I say that because I don't believe the 302 was an option in the heavier vehicles, like above 8600 GVWR, that didn't require a cat. The 351W did come in the heavier trucks and there's a non-cat pipe for them, but that engine is wider so that pipe won't fit. So I'm not sure there's a factory y-pipe for you that doesn't have a cat.

But I'll bet others have ideas on how you can do it. So I'll hide and watch to see what they say.

The solution always used to be a "test pipe"

No, 302's were never stock in *the* over 8,500 gvw 250's without a cat, but was the cat integral to the Y-pipe, like 300's?

"Cat eliminators" were always popular in the Mustang community.
The engine bay and routing were a bit different (especially with 4x4) but I'd really be surprised if you couldn't find one that fit.

Also, while an exhaust shop is never going to risk a federal fine or having their state license pulled, a mom-n-pop type place would probably make one 'for off road/track use only.'

I know that I could go over to Four Way Garage and have anything bent. Even if they won't install it on something driven off their lot.
In fact their Tee shirts say "Get Bent with 4-Way" 😄😄😄
