Cat back install

[WLGJ]

Has Anyone here done a cat back installation by yourself?
I am thinking, doing it, but I have been told to have it done!

I think Youtube has several videos on doing it.

Yes I have seen a couple, but they do not show everything . I read it takes at least 5 hours to do this job. The longest I have seen is 45 minutes, so something is missing. Also most used a lift. Well, I will try it but I wonder if you get it done if they give you a warranty? I am going to go see my neighborhood garage and see what they say. Thanks

I have taken off the rear Bumper x 2. 1st time, to install a Speedtail spoiler and 2nd time to install a AWE Catback touring exhaust ( no Drone)
If you have the right tools , is very straight forward. Check out the AWE videos

Taken the bumper out and the rear trunk , not bad, but installing the cat without a lift

Yah, a lift is very helpful... otherwise a pretty sore back

My hoist of course.

Oh, you live in Uxbridge. I really appreciate the offer but I do not think the box would fit in the Vette. Very nice of you though.

I just remembered, I have a friend that is a Mustang guy. He has a lift in his garage. I hope he can accommodate me. Besides he is a mechanic, so he will have all the necessary tools.

I have had my rear end off no less than 10 times (for various mods) One of those being installing the Borla S-Type cat back ..

Fire away, happy to answer any questions you might have.

I did not use a lift, FYI. I didnt find it too bad. Just take your time.

Ok, so when the weather gets warmer and I have my cat, I will give you a buzz. 10 times , wow. I bought a Corsa 21100 because it works with all our original buttons/system/4 ways, like the oem. Just needs to re update the computer , sometimes. Thanks for the help. Good to know about no lift necessary.

Do yourself a favor and get a set of these also. I would NOT install a new Cat Back without them. The originals damage easily and they are a bugger to fit old used ones back on tight. Save yourself the frustration and spend it upfront.

Ok when I receive the cat, I will verify if they are included, if not will buy for sure. Thanks again. Just called Corsa and you are right , not included , so will buy, in case I damage the original.

Well, I will try it but I wonder if you get it done if they give you a warranty?

I thought you bought an extended warranty. Why are you modifying anything if you are worried about voiding you warranty?






I hope this satisfies the forum police....

Here is a question, does the oem heat shield, fit the new cat backs? All videos I have seen show no shield!

Mine came with shields … can’t imagine OEM fitting any aftermarket ones
