Exhaust Removal

Racing Beat installation... 1 hour in. I got the bottom bolt holding the catalytic converter off, BUT how do I reach the two on top? Any way I can get around all the heat shields?

You'll need to remove the heat shields. Use plenty of penetrating oil. Sometimes you can bend the shield back a little bit.

what aaron said-
-removing the ACV is easy and buys a lot of space
