It usually stays off for anywhere from 80-150 miles in my mustang after I reset the computer. I love the gas smell from a catless exhaust.

Finally!! I knew it would. Surprising though that it took awhile, on my f-bod, soon as i put the catless Y on, CEL came on at start up. Same when i fired my old truck up open headers, instant CEL on startup.

it looks easier because the first thing we did was took the hood off, alternator, coil packs, plugs, wires, AIR hoses then the manifolds are right there.

We did this all while the car was hot so literally the manifold bolts came out like butter.

Both headers went in from the top with a little twisting and fancy angle work. The driver side, we pulled the steering shaft nuckle bolt and pushed it aside and it went right on down. Pretty easy.

The car was def more crooked then I thought, judging by the pictures above, but I think it had to do with the lift being uneven, not sure. It didn’t seem that bad when we were there…

The install really went very well. I can’t remember the last time I worked on a car where everything went perfectly haha. Usually by the third hour into something I am throwing wrenches and air guns at the wall.

we used hand tools for everything. The only bolts I used the air tools on was the stock exhaust manifold too x pipe bolts cause they were pretty rusted…Ended up snapping one clean off.
