STS install ???
I got my Pacesetter STS. How long does the install take (longest/quickest) and do I NEED to remove the cat?


I cannot wait to put this baby in!! :

There is a write-up in the How-To's and you do NOT have to remove the cat.

You DON'T??? How the hell do you get to it then? There's no way.

It took a skilled mechanic and I about 2 hours to complete.

Nope. Not necessary, IF you remove the cat heat shield.

It did make it a little cramped while working, but nothing ABNORMAL while working on an IMPORT.

Definitely a helluva a lot easier to work with that cat out of there. Save yourself the headache and take it out.

Don't make the same mistake I did of creating a test pipe out of your stock cat. It sounds like crap and I saw virtually no performance gains.

My new cat should be here on Thursday.
