Try a drill bit. Go slow. Use coolant.

It will take longer, and require more patience, but it will fit in your dremel.

He doesnt mean radiator coolant, he means machining lube. Im not sure what exactly you're doing... are you drilling through the cat material, or making a flange?

lol. told u i was a noob. i thought he meant radiator coolant.

i'm trying to drill through the flange. not making the flange.

 

Are you just widening those holes for bolts?

yes. so i can install the spring studs/bolts.

 

wd40 will work, youjust need some kind of lube/coolant.that bit will heat up fast
