I need help replacing my catalytic converter with a test pipe. I put it up on my lift and this thing looks like a BIG B**** to get off.Does any one know what all has to be done to pull out the stock catalytic converter? Its coming off a 2002 B6 1.8

Ummm... HAVE FUN!!!! And use LOTS of PB Blaster.

haha. it is a beeyotch to get off. the only DIY i could find when i did mine was this http://audizine.com/forum/showthread.php?t=101953

no pics so it sucks but its doable. the hardest part is the cat/dp bolts. your gona have to get a large extenion and a flex joint at the end, and lots of pb blaster...and bandaids lol

 

Time and patience are two required tools. It's just a pain in the a** plane and simple. Not un-doo able just time consuming.

 

I dont want to jack this thread but TP on a 3.0?? and good luck if you can do it DIY with PICS, help the rest of us out

 

^^its a 1.8T not a 3.0
