Do all Explorer exhaust manis have cats?

[atilla137]

Hi.
My 2014 Explorer has cracks in both of the exhaust manifolds. The repair bill is huge because the parts (DA8Z-5G232-D & BT4Z-5G232-C) are each a "Catalytic Converter With Integrated Exhaust Manifold" and cost over $1000.00 each.
While researching the parts I found
DA5Z-9430-A, "2010-2019 Ford Exhaust Manifold. So is it possible to change an exhaust manifold without changing the catalytic converter? Do some Explorers not have integrated cat/manis?


Thanks in advance.

It's possible that they are covered under the 8 year 80,000 mile emissions warranty.
