I ended up just cutting the passenger side hanger because I was one mad mother. I figured if I put them back on I'll just weld the hanger back on.

I would def think catted downpipes would pass emissions but I don't have them here in FL. Can anyone post up some pics of your clearance especially around the crossmember brace with your livernois downpipes. Mine seem to be extremely close to the brace and I'm wondering if the slight popping noise i hear when getting off the throttle is the downpipes hitting the brace.

Got this done on Friday with the help of a buddy. 2 Large pizzas, 2 big energy drinks and 8 hours later it was complete! Loaded the LMS 87 perf tune and all I can say is wow. Music to my ears. Most notable difference to me is quicker spooling.

Same thing I did. Now I have a hacksaw in the tool box.

Mine is hitting something and rattling slightly also. I believe it may be rubbing the transmission pan. BTW, they dropped shipped SW downpipes. I was expecting American racing. Same great quality though.

Put on livernois DPs today. About 5 hours alone. Have a very slight leak by the turbo on the driver side I'll have to adjust later but had to get crackin on geometry homework. Wasn't bad but I had too cut the hangers too. Haven't driven much but the throttle response feels so much better and it sounds wicked!

Installed the catted solo last night. Right at 4 hours with hand tools. The most difficult task for me was the plug in clip of the secondary passenger cat sensor. The connections at the turbos were easy with a swivel and extension.

I installed the solo catted dp. Took around 2.5 hours. I already had read up on what to do and the bolts all came right off. Cut the factory dp off and recycled the full exhaust(surprised I got $140). This with an 87 tune was awesome difference.

I was curious what the exhaust would get as scrap, not bad.
