I still have the stock cats. Gave up on removing them after it destroyed 2 impact sockets and 2 bolt out sockets so I just tried installing the exhuast instead.

I did the floor layout after. Check my album for pics and how f'd up the alignment is

good luck with ur install

Get a 1/2 inch extension and go after them, thats about the only way we could figure out to break them lose and we still ended up breaking the bolt.

Wow that is really bad, apparently shipping to Hawaii didn't do it any favors.

Well, mine do line up OK (bolted it all together on the floor.) But man, this whole affair is getting more effed by the day.
