Hybrid Cat-Back… nota horrible shot. that bend is not as bad as it looks from this angle
2 of the rear pre-cat right before I gave up
Some of the bits I was using
Another shot of the cat-back and the hammer I was chiseling with…
the 50 fucking pound drill I ended up using once the Crapsman burned out. That bit is probably over 3/4" in diameter… just to give you an idea of how big it is.
Nice shot of the Hybrid DP.
The drill was so big I had to angle it into the pre-cat just to stand it up under the car. The craftsman burned out after about 3 minutes. I gave up cause it was super hot under the car, and I had a piece of steel in my eye. It got past the goggles… and fucked up my eye pretty good. The piece he pulled out from under my eyelid was about 3 pentips wide… and 1 pentip tall. I had a lot of scratches on the eye ball, and some scaring on the eyelid.
I did this for 6 hours… went to the river and took some pics. Hopped in a boat with Big Hands… on the way home the car didn’t feel right… dropped my brother off and then it locked up./
Hope your eye’s okay Jack, having had something like that happen to me, I know it hurts like a REAL bitch even after its out for quite awhile. D/P does look good though (expected nothing less from Hybrid).
Only those that know what pre-cats are. WNYDSM wasn’t so lucky.
This is a pre-cat. It is basically 1 of 2 “mini” cats that are immediately after the turbos. After the downpipe combines the 2 into 1, there is a main cat. The front pre-cat was eliminated by the downpipe, the rear pre-cat had to be gutted, because it is part of the o2 housing on the rear turbo.
Looks like you are having a fun time :roll2: , That exhaust looks pretty good. Hopefully you will get it up and rolling soon. Hope your eye feels better soon.
