so yeah i picked up a turbo xs test pipe for like nothing at all and tryed to throw it on last night. the bolts on the cat are rusted like you wouldnt believe, even tried some pb buster and a air gun and i couldnt get them to budge. my mechanical skills are the greatest so i might need some help with this. anyone down to meet me down at the auto hobby shop on fort lewis sometime next week. most likely itll be after work probablly on thursday. if anyone is intrested hit me up or point me in the direction of a shop that could do it along with some other work...damn reset cycle for my unit is taking up a lot of my time.

 

spray with wd40 leave for 10 min, try to remove, if unable to repeat the process

 

or use a long A** breaker bar... i think every foot is like a 150 tq

 

yeah its crazy how bad the oxidation on the bolts get... i opted to replace the entire exhaust at once, instead of trying to un-seize the bolts. my buddy dave came close to rounding one of them before we gave up.

 

Dont know how far you want to drive but i have a shop with lifts we could put it on...

 

where are you at in kirkland?

 

Happnd to me to wasn't rusted but almost as if they were seized up. Best thing is get the car on a lift an then use a long cheater.

 

good luck getting that sucker off...my o2 sensor was like that.

I wouldn't do it on the dp...but i used a very small amount of anti seize on all my bolts, and they come apart soooooo much easier.

 

The shop is on 116th st in totem lake
