That would be great if she comes out in lingerie. Team will not be able to wait to put his hands on her cat. Just make sure Team brings extra underwear.

Anyone can recommend a front gasket to buy for the catalytic converter? The circle front one is not doing it. I got a new one and it is not loose. I think i need the triangle one that goes in between.

I think he's referring to the round one as the donut at the rear and the triangle one as the front gasket flange shape, without realizing the actual front gasket is also round

Tip for removal, the header joint 'bolts' are mounted into the midpipe - they won't loosen, you'll just break something. Undo the 'nuts' on the front of the joint.
Is this actually legit? My cat is on it's way out and I was honestly thinking of doing this.

Gutting a cat?
Yeah, it will save your engine, but you may not pass stricter emissions tests, and will get a CEL.
I have a midpipe and use the Torque app for Android to clear mine.
Be sure to take it off to gut it so you don't get any strata in the exhaust, and take the oxygen sensor out so you don't damage it.
