Hello 
found you guys on Google. I am joining up here because my 16 year old recently purchased a 2004 Ford Mustang. He has been working his tail off lifeguarding and saved up about 2000 bones. And he's chomping at the bit. I mean, he wants something, and something cool, and soon. So anyway, after waving him off a few 25 year old Oldsmo-Buicks, and an 89 Bonneville, we ran into this Mustang at a junkyard. I drove it, and it rumbled nicely, and it was fun to drive, so, guy says 1450, then 1250. We bring her home. Can't get her safety passed, check engine light, so I replace an oxygen sensor, then we take it in to a shop to have them give her the once-over, and it ain't good. A list of things to do, nothing too scary, but extensive. It's not street legal, and it almost seemed like the mechanic was disgusted by the her! No catalytic converters. So, it was bad, son and wife ticked off at me, and I'm already in the doghouse for the ever-weakening used Nissan Leaf I got us into (which I still love). So I have seen the shops estimates for installing the converters, pretty expensive, cutting, welding, and all that. My question is, it may be a dumb one, but is there a way that I can just replace the whole component of the exhaust system, which would include the converters, which would be simply unbolting and bolting? That we could do and that would be cost effective? Thanks for your time!
