since you are removing the test pipe first and putting in the cat, it will be much easier. you just gotta remove the intake, unbolt the 3 bolts from the turbo, and then it can all pull out from the bottom or top after disconnecting it from the exhaust. then install the downpipe to the cat BEFORE you try and put the cat back on, and drop it in from the top. the cat wont fit through the bottom and its a PITA unscrewing the bolts between the cat/dp when they are in the middle of the tunnel between your engine and exhaust. this way your always doing those bolts when they are outside the car. its gona suck when you go to remove that cat and put the test pipe back on tho

 

yea thats what i hear. o well gotta do and i want that test pipe back on lol. tahnks for the find man

 

its a lotta fun... if you just had it installed not too long ago, the bolts shouldnt be too bad....

if the bolts on the downpipe are too frozen, take the DP off too and grind em off

 

well the car is coming from florida so i cant see the blots being frozen
