a floor jack helps a lot. good luck that install is a biach

 

Might as well get yourself a down pipe too. You're already gonna be under there for a while, might as well make it worth your while.

Edit: Just noticed you already have a down pipe

 

why would u need an up pipe?? you already have one that can last you a life time

 

Sarcasm?

The up pipe that came with his car is a potential grenade waiting to assplode into big chunks. Then those big chunks will hunt down the exhaust turbine on a mission to destroy it.

Even if the cat doesn't assplode, it's holding back horsepower and making it harder for the turbo to spool up. Replacing it with an open pipe decreases turbo spool time and adds a few more horsepower. Not to mention, the only time that particular cat does anything is on a cold start. It's only there for cold start emissions. After the engine is warm, it essentially does nothing.
