... are the flipping pre cats not all broken up and falling out on their own !!

Guess that's just added a few more hours to the body off banghead



On the plus side with the extra additions to the swear jar on the way I reckon I could upgrade my holiday flights all the way to first class hehe

Mine were like that and a right PITA to get out with the manifolds on the bench let alone on the car. I ended up fracturing the weld inside the collector banging them out. From my experience my advice is take manifolds off and cut them open at the join, remove precat and weld up. Would probably save a lot of hassle.

Cheers for the advice chaps. Off the car is definitely the route i'll be taking.

I've done so much research into the body off and mods i'd like to do that I knew these were going to be a problem if they were in good shape. Part of me just thinks 'sod it' and go for some nice de-cat pipes from ACT, but they're a little on the pricy side.

Oh well...
