You dremeled your old OEM gasket out? I just leave it there. Why bother with removing it?

BTW, I was wrong about it being embedded in the catalytic converter. It's actually embedded in the exhaust flange ...

Yea, mine was embedded in the exhaust flange and was hard to identify with an untrained eye. A flat head can easily pry it out.

took mine off today

the stock system is very very heavy

my decat was 1kg
my cat was 5kg

my skunk2 mega power was around 12kg from front to back
that standard system was 24kg

so i just saved 16kg

might splash out on a J's to save another 11 kg !!!!

Just because I dont want to create a new post - if I am installing a hitch and just need to lower the exhaust I assume that means I can get away with just loosening those cat bolts - should I replace the gasket?

My exhaust hangs crooked so I was checking out this thread to gain some insight before attempting to fix it. But like others have mentioned, the pics are no longer available. I think I see what the problem is... the Photobucket album has been set to private. I went ahead and sent a PM to the OP, in case this was done in error. If he's still on S2ki, I'm hoping that we regain access to the pics.

I just put my stock exhaust back on from an Invidia N1. It's glorious to hear again.
