And while I'm posting daft questions... are decats easy to fit?

I would need to fit them on my drive, and I can jack the car, what, 18" maybe?

What's involved? I haven't had a chance to have a look, but is there a lot to unbolt first, or can you get them on and off without having to remove the long brace thing (note my use of advanced technical terms here. I apologise if I have left any of you noobs behind with my jargonwink)?

Easy peasy.

Couple of bolts either end.

You need to remove the brace or plate or whatever you want to call it first. They are easy to fit, however I have an inspection pit which makes life simpler. The most fiddly bit is making sure the rest of the exhaust hangs properly.
I got adjustable lenght decats which made fitting and setting them much easier.

Errr, no you don't! Well not on mine anyway and i've had them on and off several times now, all from laying on my back with the car jacked up 18in. It is a tad fiddly tho, but i've got it down to an hour, obviously fitting is more tricky than taking off. Installing bypass tubes is also easier than cats as there's more clearance.
