seems to be running fine. No misfires or vibrations that I have noticed. How do you check to see if your cat is plugged up?

unfortunately, the only way to see if they're broken is to check for codes or cut them off and look... if they're broken, you can take a rubber mallet and tap the outside casing very lightly. you'll hear a distinct rattle if the catalyst is shattered.

these triton motors are partial to back pressure, you have to leave the exhaust 2.5 inch diameter if you run true duals (until you get over 600rwhp) or a 3 inch single

I am pretty sure that it is 3" all the way back. I didn't change any of that just had the muffler shop put a high flow muffler on it to open it up a little more. Should I go back to the stock?
