I ithink there are a total of 5 bolts on the CAT. Soak all 5 multiple times the day before and on the day you plan on doing the install.

i actually got it from a member from here. he had less than 5,000 miles on it, and the price included shipping. i found an old thread on here that might help you out.

I bought one from iptuned.com for $716 shipped. They had free shipping at the time.

I just checked and you can get it for $754 shipped now. A couple new ones on ebay for around the same price.

The three bolts connecting the cat to your exhaust are always the WORST. Pay special attention to them. I suggest TWO days of soaking with an anti-seize spray like liquid wrench.
