Spark plug non foulers still will not turn off COT. That still can only be done in a tune. Again do it right or don't do it at all.

You have a stubborn streak, hmm? You don't hear what you want when you ask a question and you just perseverate. Good luck, I mean that but, here's a last bit: Tuning won't necessarily void your warranty. You'll have zero issues with a reputable vendor but having to swap cats back in on this car (becauase that certainly will draw fire from the dealer) for the maybe 15-20 horse you get from pulling them doesn't seem worthwhile to me.
I put my last 5.0, a 2012 6 speed manual 3.73 Brembo car into the 11s on a warranty-safe 91 octane FRPP Procal tune and a sticky tire, at 115 mph, through the factory exhaust and airbox.
your right they wont turn off the COT function.... what they will do is keep the o2 sensors reading reduced levels of o2 so the ecu will think everything is fine. so in that case no need to tune and turn off COT.
PROCAL doesn't tune for no cats. and your warranty with procal is less than half the length of my warranty.
Still perseverating.....
Well, you hope that will be the result of using non-foulers but, no guarantees.
Of course Procal doesn't tune for no cats, it's an emissions legal tune. The point I'm making is you can have an 11 sec car with the cats in. What's the obsession with no cats anyway? This isn't a 1979 Mustang, the cats aren't that big of a choke.
You are also wrong about the PC warranty. It replaced the 3 year comprehensive warranty on all driveline components with one with the same coverages from Ford racing but no other part of the warranty is affected, including the 5 year powertrain warranty standard on the car. If you spent money for further extended warranties from Ford you are likely wasting $.
Oh and btw, the other thing with a good tune from a reputable vendor is the complete transformation of the driving exerience. The stock tune, particularly on the 11-12 cars, sucked hard. I'm in an auto now and first thing was a VMP tune on there. The '14 factory tuning was clearly better than my '12 car was but, VMP sharpened it up very noticeably, adding alot of low end torque, firmer shifting and a slightly raised rev limit. Well worth it and I have no concerns about this engine blowing up on this tune.
On my former car I pulled the plugs after three years on the Procal, included over 100 dragstrip passes on slicks and they were perfect and the car pushed 180 on all 8 cylinders under a compression test.
Well looks like he has all the answers I guess. Makes you wonder why he started this thread in he first place. Go ahead and run your car with no tune and the cats removed. Either way I could care less.
Ok I'm done trying to prove you wrong on the PC warranty. You are wrong but, nothing I say or show you is going to convince you, that's clear.
You seem to think we are at war with you here with your stubborness and hostile responses. You've just been getting good, accurate advice and refusing to accept it. You want black and white when the world here is a shade of grey. You read like a 20 year old know-it-all punk, if i am honest.
I read numerous post with more than enough info to tell you not to do it. Why be hostile when you get answers you do not want to hear? Best to wait till you have the means to do it correctly or don't do it all. As said before try a resonator delete. If you do not like it, change it back and just be happy with it.
Interestingly enough I have a bit of experience running headers w/ cat deletes and stock tune as well as track key tune on my Boss LS that may apply here, but with all of the “Deez Nuts” and other childish comments I think my time would be better spent moving on to a more mature thread
