LOL. dude, are you not reading what people are saying to you? spray some stuff on there to loosen them up, and do it yourself, or have a fellow chicago orger do it for you.

 

dude...I think it's you who's not reading what I said. It's already done. I will be taking it off this weekend with the help of a fellow orger.

Either way, no matter how f'ing good your friend is, if the cat screws are too rusted, you MUST, absolutely MUST get them off at a shop, unless you got a freakin heat torch, which 99.9% of people do NOT.

Sometimes they go, sometimes they don't.

 

alright cool. you didnt post that man, get all hostile about it.

 

Yea, when I had mine put in they also said it was illegal because they would be taking out the catilitic converter, which isn't true. I ended up getting mine done at Midas for $100. But just do it yourself, it's not that hard. I would've done mine myself but one of the bolts was stripped. So I recommend doing it yourself.

 

Congratulations on your first post, Maxed Out Maxy. You tell 'em!

 

It is illegal. The federal law states that it is illegal to replace any properly funtioning catalitic converter. Our y-pipe has 2 pre catalitic converters.

 

Where do you live , I have muffler shop in Waukegan that will replace your rusty cat bolts for around $10 ( at least that is what they charged me 2 years ago)

its on the corner of route 120 and Green Bay rd



Nick.

 

oh, man. There is no reason a chicago area member should have any problem gettting a y-pipe installed. We have many guys who will do that for you.

 

That is not too far off, a little steep though. Headers are just a weee bit more work than a y-pipe. The shop I used to work at had them at 8hrs labor. I did mine myself and would never do it again.

 

seriously there are many people around here who know how to do that. Davesz did it for me, did a great job too
