did you have fun getting the stock cat pipe off .. mine was a pain

But the decat was sooo easy to put back as you can see and reach the 3 nuts

not that long i dont think

remove the entire exhaust ( im assuming youve done that as your swapping the system ) leaving the down pipe cat in place

im sure i got to one or two from the top and the other one from underneath

i had to use 2 swivel joints and an extention to get the tricky one

and putting it back on 5 mins tops :)

lots of spray oil from what i can remember

its been years since i did it to be honest , its not a big job , just tricky :)

i did it on the drive with the car on wheel ramps

looking back at an old thread it would seem i struggled

BUT im sure i have done it since and it wasnt a big job

Although i do find its more fun trying to do it your self .. if you are .. my tip would be to find the most arkward nut first and try that .. if after a while you are stuck , then at least your exhaust is still on :)

If you do the 2 easy ones first and decide its not for you , you have to put them back on !!
