   the cat is bolted to the manifold with 2 nuts and bolts, undo those, and the other end should be held on with a bracket, undo the 2 bolts that tighten it up, fit the de-cat, reverse the method. a 30min job max

   lmao. Oh dear. cat = cat (not the furry things) decat = no cat (and its not in a bin ) you will need a pipe known as a decat pipe to replace the gap.
