Why redo? Dead cats. Passenger pictured, drivers was eroded away from inside, not quite a hole yet. Oh yeah, gasket had a hole too, looks a bit like the catback graphite gaskets eh? Leak city
Please see StealthV and many others install write-ups, won't bore you. I'm glad i did the studs, percy's gaskets, new Magnecors/plugs.

The factory plugs are strange, tiny points:

Thats alot of pipes:

After install, noticed 2 driver side plugs contacted pipes, but no melting yet. Tried some aluminum tape for a temp fix. Any other ideas?


I went cat-less. You NEED front O2 extenders. The ones I got at Summit didn't perfectly fit. They had "tabs" inside the plug I had to grind off, nor did they clip. Anybody have any better fitting extenders please post. They do work however. Line up the factory "a,b,c,d" wires to your extenders.
Thanks: StealthV, wildwhl, others...for giving me the courage to do this.
urbanski difficulty: 8
beers: 0, still hungover.
time: 8 hours, 2 days.
Do it again? HELL YEAH. Louder? No, i already had dead cats, but the open tubes give a "growl" or "snarl" on deceleration. Not burble, not popping, but the sound is louder and higher pitched that it was. Accel is no different....but worthy of another round of sound deadener in teh trunk
