Lmao. You get ur car goin?

nah, it's still sittin at jon's

Yeah, gotta get the damn rear pre-cat removed...

i also have to get my ghetto-ass catback cut so it'll fit, which is going to involve making a trip to the shop with the whole stock dp-cat-catback welded beast in your car haha

That rear pre-cat doesn't look too fun to remove in the car. I don't know what type of manuevering you have to do, but if its something crazy then gutting on the car might be easier....

gotta take off the axle, jon says. we already gutted his old precat, just gotta take my old one off and replace it. f gutting it from underneath the car. i'm generally opposed to consuming metal shards

I took my dad's old military issue full face gas mask and went to town lol.

Yeah, taking out the rear pre-cat requires that the half shaft be removed so it can slide out from the bottom.

It's not a huge deal though. There isn't that much work left to do.

I'd rather drill it from the bottom. Can leave the tire/hub installed. No awkward angles on the precat nuts...But you will have deal with being itchy lol.

from what i've read, first gens can take it out from the top since it's smaller. another joy of owning an obdii...
