Exhaust system. they look like a muffler.
Depends on what year you have. 1996-2001 are exact match with the Ford F150/250 under 8500 GVW. 2001 thru 2003 are unique to that vehicle. Post 2003 they changed again to a spin-form design and that design is good thru 2008. All have R/H - L/H cats. They bolt to the manifold and are married together at the R/H crossover pipe. I think the 2001 and later use a Torca clamp vs a U clamp so the crossover pipe connection is not ruined. 2001 and later have a 900 cell per inch catalyst light off can (#1) and can plug if you backfire with rich condition. Any oil additive like STP containing Zinc can plug your cat too. Stay away from all oil additives and spend the money on a quality synthetic or semi synthetic oil. Look up your model at Tasca auto parts.com. They have a wonderful database with many "view illustration"option. They have the best prices for OEM parts and a great staff that will answer your questions via e-mail or on the phone. Good luck. One last thing...do not try to run your vehicle without the cats. It will turn into one big mess and put your vehicle in "survival mode" You will be lucky to get 7 mpg.
You may have two- one in the exhaust manifold/downpipe, and the other just past the catalytic converter.
You don't leave it up to the mechanic

You can try looking it up at Walker Exhaust website. They have nice diagrams of all their replacement systems and components. Just choose your vehicle and it will show you the system from the cat. converter all the way to the muffler.

Bank # 1 is the passenger side of the engine in a Ford Expedition Sensor # 1 would be before the catalytic converter ( upstream sensor ) Sensor # 2 would be after the catalytic converter ( downstream sensor )
Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine in your Ford Expedition Sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter ( downstream )
97 expedition having same prob heard catalytic converter ? hope not 97 expedition having same prob heard catalytic converter ? hope not
On a Ford Expedition : Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine Sensor 1 would be close to the engine BEFORE the exhaust enters the catalytic converter Sensor 2 would be in the exhaust AFTER it exits the catalytic converter
Loss of power, poor fuel economy, and converter gets extremely hot.
Bank 2 is the drivers side of the engine in a Ford Expedition Sensor 2 is after the catalytic converter ( downstream )
A bad coil can damage a converter. If the engine is misfiring, it will cause raw fuel to get into the converter and that can cause failure.
On a Ford Expedition ( 4.6 and 5.4 ) Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine Sensor 1 would be close to the engine BEFORE the exhaust enters the catalytic converter Sensor 2 would be AFTER the exhaust has passed through the catalytic converter
Bank 1 is the passenger side of the engine in your Ford Expedition Sensor 1 is in the exhaust before it enters the catalytic converter ( upstream )
The torque converter or the catalytic converter? The torque converter is inside the bellhousing that connects the engine to the transmission. The catalytic converter is inline of the exhaust pipe ahead of the muffler; it's probably the first bulge in the exhaust. Removing your catalytic converter is illegal and if your state has a vehicle inspection your car won't pass without it.
Bank 2 is the drivers side of the engine Sensor 2 is downstream of the catalytic converter ( after the exhaust gas has passed through the catalytic converter )
