I got a exhaust system and was wondering about the catalytic converter! the two screws with the springs on it, the ones that connect the catalytic converter to the header, hod you take them off I dont want to break anything? thanks

 

y take them off?

thats not that much of a weight reduction

 

all you do is unbolt them like any other bolt and they will pop loose. when you put them back in you will need something to compress the spring so you can put the nut on the bolt.

 

im goint to take them off to put the exhaust on, its easier for me taking it off and then connecting it to the new exhaust and putting it back on

 

what will i need to compress the spring! and is it hard to do!

vice grips?

 

I used the C clamp style vice grips on the edges and work nicely

 

but how do you get the bolt through the spring if the vise grips are compressing it?

 

hit the bolts 1st

LOL.... ok
u put the bolt in the spring, put the vice grip on the edge of the spring and the edge of the bolt and squeeze it to gether... just make sure the bolt can pass by the vice grips when compressed, but the bolt through the holes, and put the nut on.
