#763 is installed. HFC's + exhaust. Fit & finish is spot on.

It's been discussed before, but a word of warning on the HFC's, removing the top bolts from the OEM cats is a giant paint. Over 2 feet of extensions + a 3 foot breaker bar AFTER soaking them in PB Blaster over night and applying heat. Still had to break the nut off one of them to get them off. It's something I would have expected with an older car, but mine has never seen rain/salt and only has 10k miles.....you could eat off the underside of it.

The exhaust was an absolute breeze, but if you get the HFC's, be prepared for a possible tussle removing the OEM stuff.
