It's generally an accepted fact that running the Duratec 2.0L to 6800 is fun and yet harmless. The stock valvetrain is good to 7200 all day long, but much beyond that and valve float becomes an issue without upgraded springs, etc. The cutout for fuel is ~6950 RPM.
You'll like the sound of the MBRP on the Duratec. I'd recommend leaving the second cat in though to keep the noise down.
