Question on Ranger Edge 2001 3.0 Catalytic converter (near headers)
To my knowledge I noticed that the 3.0 Ranger 2001 has I believe 5 catalyst. Well my question is in the front 3 one for each side of the headers and then one in the middle where to two sides unite. I need to replace them but the dealership is making me buy each piece which is expensive.
My Question: Can I buy just the catalytic converters and have someone Weld them to the pieces where old Cats were? And which can I buy for my truck. THANKS for the help.

Thank Dillon. Now Im assuming from the picture I need to get 2 for each side of header. But there is also another in the middle. Do I need to replace that one. I want my "check engine light" to go away.
Also just a note i have a 3.0 Ranger 2001
Thanks!
Edit: Also is this CAT legal in California?

From what I've been told, on the 2001+ exhaust systems on any truck we're built with high flow cats, even if there is 4 of them. I had 4.. 2 pre cats and 2 post cats (pre cats coming off each side of the manifold, and 2 post cats after the y-pipe). I just recently finished a rear cat delete so now I have 2 pre cats and 1 post cat. If you can find an exhaust shop to bend you that bend, and have a buddy WELD it up (Not solder, that's for electronics, sorry) you can run 1 cat less. I've noticed a throttle response increase and sound as well as some mpg even with 35's.
But since you're in california, you may have to find special cat's... All that emmisions ****. Blah.

Thanks for the help. And also thanks for the English lesson LOL sometimes I forget Ive been looking on the internet for some cats but I have also noticed some y-pipes which are bolt-ons. Im afraid to buy it because either they wont bolt to the remaining back pipe where other 2 cats are or "check engine light" will not turn off.

From my understanding I need OBD II cats. I see these mention it but the site say it is still not CA legal. Is there a cat around this price that I could weld to each side after header and one where I guess the y pipe is?
