buy extra cat bolts/nuts...they will break

or you may want to break them off if you haven't soaked them over night.

new cat bolts/nuts from the dealer

the cat gets REALLLY hot, and then cold, then REALLY hot, then cold, then REALLLY...you get the idea? the bolts pretty much weld onto the cat, and need to be soaked for a while to get them off. They'll probably break off when your installer tries to remove your stock exhaust.
