Default Cat-back install notes (FAQs?)?

Got my Borla (grazi, grazi you know who you are). Looks straighforward, but eBahn/Bentley is remarkably silent in Section 26 about that. Sort of "OBTW"....

- advice?
- consternations?
- appropriate cuss words and tongue holds while forking this bad **** in?


TIA!

Wysiwyg. I've had good luck with "PB Blaster" to loosen up those corroded bolts.

WYSIWYG indeed! Looks relatively straightforward. Anything else need to come loose?

Default Nope, just loosen the coupling sleeve bolts drop the hangers and it falls out

Install in reverse order.

Default Not a hard install. But you do need a lift...>>

Pretty much unbolt the old and install the new. The clamp connecting the downpipe/cats can be reused. Just use penetrating oil to loosing the bolts. You will reuse the hangers too.

My install took around an hour.

One thing, You might not have the prblems aligning the tips as some here (including me) being you are using a single tip.
