I was wondering if the gaskets form the exhaust manifold to the cats were metal/ Or would I have to replace them. Thanks

 

I reused mine.

 

I was considering doing it in my garage. What do you guys recomend its easier or just let a shop do it.and what price ranges do u think they would ask for thism type of job? thanks

 

do it yourself. yume and i had to buy 3 10" extentions...lol

tony advised us that it would be easier that way...and boy was he right!

besides...id rather spend time with a friend installing my HFCs than pay creativeautoworks to install them for 175 PER SIDE!!!

 

wait if you get cats you need to buy extensions? what is this nonsense?? im confused... don't they just bolt right on before your exhaust?

 

^ no. you'll need extensions to get to the bolts. do it yourself. only took me about 35 mins but that was using a lift. they just bolt right up.

 

I am glad I have a bunch of extensions

 

I guess your not really a car guy.........just confused. Have you ever been
under your car to see where the converters attach to the exhaust manafold?
That's what this post is about and what it takes to remove those bolts.
This job isn't easy if you have a lift but laying on the ground with your car
on jackstands requires extensions to reach those bolts.....long ones.

 

like 30" worth
