   Hi lads and ladies, just wondering if anybody can help me with this.
   
   I think my cat is going becuase it is making a strange noise.
   How do you know if your cat is gone or going?
   
   Also how easy it is to replace it? Is it just like swapping a back box over, undo the bolts and swap it over? Or do i need to put gaskets and stuff on?
   
   Thanks in advance for any help.
   
   Ohh one last thing, will a new cat increase my power?
   
   Thank you.

   4 bolts on top, 2bolts +springs on the bottom, and you'll need a new ring and exhaust paste in between. Not very complicated.
