Stock cat?

This thread makes me grin.

Many years ago I gutted the pre-cats on my VR-4. With them on the car.

I got under the car, used a half inch auger bit and a power drill. Drill drill drill, yank some crap out with long needle nose pliers, drill drill drill.

I was washing catalytic converter out of my hair and skin for days.

I wouldn't recommend that method to anyone ever hahaha.

Wow. Doing it on the car is pretty ballsy.

They were completely rusted to the turbine flanges. I'd have to take the turbos off of the car, probably the manifolds themselves, to get them off of the car to get the bolts drilled out and blah blah blah.

I'd just done a clutch job on the damn thing that took me 3 days of hard labor to get done. I couldn't afford labor anywhere else and I knew I'd probably never get the turbos out without professional intervention.

That car was a real bitch to work on. Traverse mounted twin turbo V6's FTMFL.

You're a braver soul than I to have owned a VR4. A buddy of mine had one that ran really well. When it ran.
