It would be easy enough to rig up a fencer using the exhaust system as the ground and running a positive screening close but out of eyesight.  However, the power surge when the circuit is completed might be a bit hard on computers in the vehicle.  Maybe not, but there must be some reason they warn about disconnecting the computers and radios before doing certain electrical work.

Just got the final  estimate from ford. Since they deatroyed some of the emissions electrical  and the exhaust  mainfolds, total bill is $19.1k. 


$250 deductable, but gd.

That is why there is such a large black market in cat cons and def systems.  It is called platinum!  Beyond the value of the metal, there is a need for used systems for  those who have theirs stolen.
