Default Fitting a sports cat. Anything to look out for?

Evening all. I'm going to be fitting a sports cat downpipe on my 04 sti soon. Is there anything to watch out for? I.e the studs braking on the turbo etc? Is it best to attack them just after a drive so they are nice and hot?

It will be a nightmare to handle if you do it hot!

Penetrating fluid before attacking, plusgas works for me.

Good luck!

I did mine on my old T2000 while hot, couldn't get it off while cold and using the old penetrant spray.

Pair of mechanics gloves and long sleeves and its more than fine to work around.
