I wonder how long the bulb for the CEL is supposed to last. I have had the car for a tad over 3 years and the CEL has been on pretty much the entire time. Maybe I will be lucky and it will burn out. "Bros before Hoes" <-- More men need this mentality.

Yeah because a multimeter can datalog in real time right. You seem to be forgetting a few things here. 2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.

Do yourself a favor..take it thru the car wash prior and get an underbody wash. Drive home. Put car up on ramps or lifts. Spray the 7 bolts/nuts with a good break free (2 on each pre-cat...2 on the cat-back...and 1 hidden between the primary tubes connecting to the underbody). Wait till the next day. The front 2 on mine came right off. The rear 2...I snapped 1, removed the stud on the other (damn MI winters), and the other 3 came right off. Its a tight fit on the front primary with a heat shield next to the lower pulley (?), but some wiggling and such..it'll come right off. Don't forget the lower O2 sensor too.

Would you seal the ends? ie throw it in a plastic bag and store in a dry place or just toss it in a box? ps: I was told once by someone that the removing the main cat would add about 9 hp 2000 Black SVT #2639/2760; w/18 OZ Superleggera's, Pirelli Pzero Nero. MSDS Headers,Quaife LSD, CF DF, Borla,,chipped,DMD,Baer Track rotors. Lowered/HR and Koni's; HPP & OMP 3L Valves w/ P&P Heads (thanks Kinger!)
