DIY: Berk Technology HFC Install

Great how-to. I would like to mention there is no reason to remove the YPIPE. You just unbolt the stock cats from it and you can easily remove them.

Thats what I thought going into it too, but since the stock cats use a stud instead of a bolt, once you take the nuts off the studs are still there holding the cat in place. There isn't enough play in the exhaust system to move the y-pipe and muffler back far enough to free the cats. I tried a crow bar and everything.

Strange. Mine had enough play to move them back.

The exhaust for the 350Z is a bit different than the 370Z and G37. I didn't have the problem either on my 350Z.
