im lookin to put in a catback in my 8 and i took a look underneath the car and found the can is held in place by 4 rubber things. is there an easy way to take them off? or do I just have to pry them off? thanks!

they are called hanger. just spray some soapy water on them and they will slide out easier.

They can be a pain in the a$$ to get off. We used PB on mine when I put on my new MS Dual exhaust on. Definately the most time consuming part. Good luck with it.

the hangers will be the hardest part as 9gredline said. but once off, the install will be a breeze. got your heart set on any one exhuast yet?
