Where the heck is the luck!!! The bolts after the cat are STUCK! Striped to hell, and a little torch from walmart can't even do justice. I guess I might have to skip class on monday so I can take it to a shop to have the bolts removed. Originally posted by merlin:

I finally got it done! I hated almost every second of it! I don't know if I would help some one put it on. Well, I would to help them out, but I will never do that again. I am soo sore from moving underneith the car. My neck, shoulders, arms, brian , I hurt! Problems I had. Bolts rusted and stuck for life! Took to a shop and the sawed the bolts off between the res and converter. Then they had to blow torch it to get the rest out. It looked like they welded the darn thing in there! Next problem was mounting the darn thing. I still have an exhaust leak off of the shorter pipe that comes off the headers I think. Ok, Likes well, I guess it's faster. It's wet out. I think the tach actually climes a little faster. The Exhaust I am questioning changing. I just have a res on my exhaust. It sounds a little raspy but deep, It does not really impress me on the sound. Any thoughts or questions ask away. Originally posted by merlin:

Merlin..
Is everything else stock except the Y?
Are you planning on a Cat-Back setup?

To answer your questions. I have just over 30,200. I have made it through 2 kansas winters also My exhaust offically now is stock headers with precats, sho y-pipe minus cat, and a aftermarket resenator That might change also. It all depends on money!!! ------------------ Sincerely Merlin Kansas City CEG 99 SVT Black #1210 1/4 15.564@ 88.24 mph KKM intake/Custom Exhaust/Fog light mod /20%tint Dyno=163.8HP,148.5FT/LBS CHIP Dyno'd 159.3hp 154.4tq 1/4=15.502@88.95 Sho off road y

I had a muffler shop do a custom Y pipe last week. I insisted the PCM be disconnected so I couldn't do a proper before and after. Should I have expected to lose some bottom end, or was that from deleting the main cat? Anyone else with similiar experience?
