Exhaust system. Usually on or near the exhaust manifold. Just follow the exhaust system. There may be more than one. A dual exhaust will have two pre-catalist (one on each side). The one on the driver's side can be reached by removing the tire. The passenger side is near impossible to do without a hoist. I had to remove the starter to reach it. The Ford dealership says it is a 30 minute job, so it may be a good investment of $45. What is your time worth?
