Original cat has been cut and stolen by savages

Finding wonders in a junkyard

Lots of cutting, grinding and press-fitting

DIY downpipe ready to be installed on the car (note that the shifting linkage can get in the way)

Brand new cat

Lifting the car as high as possible with jackstands and wooden blocks
Not enough room without lowering the subframe or using a lift

Very little room to wiggle the downpipe without lowering the subframe

Broken manifold stud

Straight pipe

Straight pipe fitted on the car
WARNING: do not use on open roads

Decided to rent a lift due to little room crawling under jackstands
Aftermarket cat, passes emission tests, but looks cheap...
