thanks to todd cason who built me this custom race cat to mirror the measurements of my existing one. beautiful work, thanks again.

my poor neighbors. my driveway usually looks like this. i crawled under there tonight and sprayed pb nutblaster on all the business bolts and clamps on the cat. i then tapped them a bit with a hammer.

this is where it needs to go. if my O2 sensors are right.... my cat is toast. will i need to drop the entire cat-back? anyone have any tips or tricks? thanks - andrew

Default Myonly advice is to chock that car good if your driveway is as steep as it seems

Don't wanna come here next week and read a sad story from your widow or something. :-)

Jack stands, PB blaster and a breaker bar should be all you need for most exhaust work.

Default silly boy

it's easier to do if the whole car is way in the air... i'm off to ME for the day, but if you change your mind it is a long weekend...
