First off, it came with only 4 bolts, so I am assuming I need to reuse the downpipe bolts then. Secondly, I sprayed all the bolts on my current exhaust with WD40 so that tomorow when I install it they will come off easier but I noticed the downpipe bolts are incredible hard to get to. Now I will have access to a lift and a very wide array of tools(I take autotech at school) but was wondering would it be easier just to take the cat off at the turbo and just take the whole thing out and install the downpipe from there.

If anyone has any tips, things to look out for thanks!

two of mine broke. IIRC, they took the cat off the turbo then just removed everything from there.

I've aquired way to much information over the last year on exhuast.

Yea, two of mine broke too. One of them came out easy when it broke. The other required an air chisel, punch, and punch holder. Oh yea, pick up a new gasket from your dealer. AWE told me to reuse my old one if I wanted, but it came out in several pieces. A new one is a little under $20 just so you know. The bolts are 8mmx1.25x35mm IIRC.

Where can I get these bolts, any hardware store or does it need to be from the dealer?
