Catalytic Converter????

you guys are sounding like the material is as strong as steel, it's not, it's pretty fragile (that's why we can hear them rattle sometimes). like i said before, i did mine while it was still on my truck, just be sure to clear everything out before the exhaust gets put back together. i used a shop vac to vacuum out the last little bits.
just curious, this test pipe piece at the parts store will not have a provision for the O2 sensor right? if not, then what should i do with my second O2 sensor? should i just tie it up as is and let it hang somewhere so it can read fresh air, lol? or do i unplug the sensor and hang up the wiring harness? just curious, what type of muffler do you have?

if your truck is already missing the exhaust (not really sure why..........) then just replace the cat. your truck is gonna sound like it's running open exhaust (with a punched cat), and be sure to get you pulled over orther wise.

Can anyone direct me to a post describing how to remove the top bolt on the front of the cat? GRRR!

What I did was snake my dremel up and over the cat from the back side to where my cutout wheel would allow me to cut the stud flush with the nut, then split both in two, to where I was left with a vertical cut that I could hit with a chisel to get the nut halves off. What a pain that job was.
