Is there an easier way to get off that last bolt on the top left of the pre cat? or do i need to take off the y pipe and then go at it or what? i have the other 3 off already

 

first you need to use your time machine and go 15 years in the future. then u meet Dr. Mathayus who can use the inhibtor ray to shrink your hands by 5mm.

but seriously, yes take off the Ypipe.

before u reinstall the down pipe, get the aftermarket downpipe bolts, they are smaller and can all be wrenched from under neath the car. the stock bolts are too big. i believe pettit sells them, but check with jason also.

 

awesome yeah it was just that last damn bolt giving me a hard time...i didnt want to break the damn stud sooo time to remove the y pipe hopefully my cat is clogged and this clears my boost issue

 

just work blindly by feel w an extension socket until you get to the bolt. removing y pipe takes more time and offers limited additional space.

 

removed existing and installed new without removing y-pipe. Patience and small hands are all you need

 

welll.....i was using a torque wrench get a little more power outta a 1/2" wrench that way ... im gonna go out it in the morning and dyno her after all these parts are on tomorrow..small hands please lol...u need s fing magnifying glass and tweezers to get some **** off this car lol
