Ok as the Subject says I have just removed the Heat shield (lost 1 bolt sheared) and am presented with the top of the turbo.. and Down pipe /Cat.

I want to remove the cat and replace so what next do I do and in what order. Cars not my daily driver so no time issues just don’t want to remove stuff unless needed.

Also top two bolts are VERY Tight. I have cracked them but boy are they gonna take some removing.

I guess its the first time this has been removed.

Anyone got any ideas or have any experience.

 

Go to Quik-Fit they'll do it for a fiver

 

Trust me this is not a 5 min job, I doubt they would go anywhere near it..

 

as time isn't an issue soak the nuts with plenty of wd40, the more time spent doing this the better.

I found removing the intercooler helpful the last time i changed my downpipe (didn't bother the previous 2 times).

Don't forget the top two nuts are the easy ones

 

They Did Mine!
