Sport cat install question
Has anyone been able to do it without dropping the exhaust or removing the headers? Working on getting my game plan together on what I'm in for. I already installed headers but would prefer to not remove them. Doing both at the same time sure would have been smart but alas here we are.

There is no need to remove the headers.
You dont need to remove the exhaust but may need to unbolt the 2 rear hangers to be able to move it rearward enough to skip the cats in. Maybe not. I took mine off and never tried to get only cats out.

They're screw in type, similar to a head or manifold stud, but smaller. I may run to Home Depot or Lowe's to check our their selection of 10.9 hardware. Or maybe go try a real hardware store like ACE?

I'll be installing my intake as soon as it arrives (been sitting at a FedEx facility for a few days now), was hoping to do it today or tomorrow. Once I do I'll report back with my findings and more pictures.

@Kracka were you able to install the Corsa Sport Cats without having to loosen the cat-back exhaust system? Just wondering how much PITA it was to replace the OEM cats with the OEM exhaust still in place. Thanks.
