    My friend did it two weeks ago. He put on a Catco one. No welding he said and it took about 10 minutes once he got under the car. He has a 3rd gen TBI so I have no idea if their setup is exactly the same as ours is. Just my two cents.

      Your sig says you have a 96. Considerably more difficult than earlier years. It's probably welded at both ends, and you have a pre and post cat O2 sensor. if you don't have a welder, you'd probably be better off having a muffler shop do it for you...

        Exactly, welded on both sides, need to be cut off first then you can install the high flow.

        You dont hvae to weld the highflow cat on, u can just clamp it on, but i would suggest welding, i developed leaks due to the clamps. I need to get it re-welded.

              Catco Catback? That doesn't exist. Catco only makes "Cats" (catalytic converters). A catback is the exhaust pipe/muffler from your "cat" to the back of your car.

                  Who is everyone? You must've misread some of the messages.
