Question for those with y-pipes.....
#2
Yeah, I had it professionally installed.. But not by a major auto chain like pepboys or anything. Just a local shop. Wasn't even a performance shop. Just make sure you get good directions and give it to them.

I had it installed at a local MIDAS shop...It was pretty easy...They do alot of exhuast work so they knew exactly what to do...I even got to watch...Fernando Cuco

I installed it myself. The reason why was that i rather save my self some money instead of paying some else to do it. If you can unbolt a few bolts then your done. Instead of paying some one else to do it, you can buy stuff with the money you saved such as pedals. oh yeah, i just bought some Razo carbon fiber pedals for 65 bucks. I dont want them anymore and hasnt been installed, wanna buy? I installed the Cattman Y pipe, there are only 3 screws which are kinda hard but can be acomplished with a pivot joint and one extention.If you have a hard time, email me and i can help you with any questions you have about installing the y pipe. sorry to repeat myself..lol

funny, i dont rmemeber the Y-pipe having any screws.
Anyways, a professional shop is prolly gonna do about the same job as an average mechanic wiht some knowledge. There are 3 bolts on each manifold. You should prolly soak with lub first and 2 bolts on the Cat and i think there was a bracket to disconnect too. have some extensions and some swivel sockets would help also.
