Getting my wsp y-pipe today, any install problems?

cat converter bolts can be a pain to undo...soak them with some "liquid qrench" first, other than that it should be smooth sailing!

Aero-Kroil would be even smoother sailing.

As long as your bolts aren't rusted should be pretty easy. If they are take em to a shop they might just snap....

make sure to bend the empty (after the install) bracket near the cat.

you could use
14mm Impact socket w/gun, and a 7/8 open-end wrench for the O2
sensors.(that size fit best for me) I know everything should be metric
