what year and engine? are they in series or parallel? i had a 95 with a 5.8 and the exhaust broke off at the exit of the front cat, sounded pretty mean, still ran fine. do you have to worry about emissions? that might stink things up the line for you. and remember, technically, its illegal to remove a cat

yeah, i recommend soaking your exhaust manifold bolts in PB Blaster or a similar penetrating lube. give it a good drench two times a day for a few days at least to avoid busting the bolts
