Only small items left: connect bracket to transmission and HFC's, connect HFC's to Y pipe, put one nut back on Y pipe (never even tried to get the rounded one off since I was able to remove the cats without removing the Y pipe).
I love that feeling after a job. It's a good workout, and a nice change of pace from sitting on my *** in front of the computer all day.

One question: Do I need to remove the brace bolts from the old cats to connect the brace to the new cats? If so, how? If not, what do I use?
Are you talking about the brace with 4 bolts (2 into underside of transmission area somewhere, and one into a tab on each cat)? Yes, you do need to reuse that, and I think you do need to reuse the stock bolts, unless Berk ships extra replacements. I don't remember really, but I think not. Did you just leave the brace on the old cats? In any case, they're just a pair of nut+bolt on each cat, remove as usual.
