I totally forgot about those. Since the engine and downpipes are off should I replace them or just keep them. They are the originals at 72k miles. PITA to replace later, right?

Default No, leave them...if they go out replace them. They are $$$$$$$$$. Yours should be OK
And they are easy to replace after the fact. 17mm wrench and a 10mm wrench and your golden
