Hey I have had a been putting off doing my cat for a warm day now one has come and I am thinking about attempting to put it in now. Does anyone have any suggestions or guides on how to do it the most effectient way? Also anyone that has done it before if I do it correctly how much time are we talking in doing it?


Thanks,

im assuming you have the 1.8. its a bitch cause bolts are in fvcked up places. a stubby wrench works best on the cat>turbo bolts. the cat>dp bolts are a real biatch. you have to get at them from the bottom of the car and then are in the middle of a "tunnel" so you need long extensions and a universal joint. and lots of pb blaster. soak them a few hours before you start the job
