grr just spent the last 3 hours trying to get the down pipe off, grr need the decat pipe before i can fit the new exhaust cause the bolts are well and truely screwed on the down pipe side of the cat, and pretty good on the other side! And i sheered one of the bolts on the downpipe to mani connection so I have 1 bolt holding it together now, strangely enough its not leaking o_O

Finished doing the other side too now, you can still see a line around them but I'll sort that out some other time:

Really annoying cause it seams that the passenger rear quarter has been resprayed at some point so I took a bit of paint off when I removed the gunk grr Oh well, matches the stone chips and scrape (bought like it)

yer it would have looked nice but I'd rather have the extra performance and less temperature in the engine bay really.
