Noticed a crack and tiny hole in the decat pipe where it meets the turbo. From previous searches, it seems like removing the cat is a real bitch of a job, but not sure if removing a pre-existing decat will be slightly easier due to it being smaller? I can see the worst of the damage up top but no idea what it's like underneath, I'm hoping I could just weld it up as I only really intend to use it for track use. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
Decat will make if easier when everything is undone/removed to squeeze out but still takes a good bit of dismantling to create space. Drive shaft, dog bone mount, drive shaft bearing and mount, I done mine just after Christmas and it faught all the way Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk
Seems like it'll still be a major pita! I slapped some putty over the crack to see if it made much difference and it seems it's only at the top side, not underneath! May see if a welder can touch it up in situ for now!
Jesus! No idea tbh, it was already on when I bought the car. Had a quick look from underneath yesterday when the car was up on a ramp and it's surprisingly rusty, so can't be stainless or anything of any reasonable quality I imagine.
