I live around Pasadena, Glendale, San Gabriel, Alhambra...
If you can do the install, please let me know and how much...
Or HELP with advice:
How do i get a wrench in from the bottom to loosen the bolts
that connect the cat-delete to the headers? Because it is a
small place to work in...
Some info...
Car is dropped on DF210's so maybe a little hard to get under the car...
Thanks...

Are you saying you're trying to do this w/o jacking the car up?
I don't recall ever having problems reaching the spring bolts that attach the cat to the header.
oh no, that would be stupid! Lol...
I cant break the bolts, those bastards are on there good!!! Lol
and i can get to them, but once again having trouble breaking them
and getting my ratchet in the space....

Soak in PB Blaster, then use something for leverage like a breaker bar. I think I used a vacuum cleaner extension tube around my ratchet haha.
^ do what he said.
Inspepction is a long way away and you can always put the cat back or slip some money to pass.
I would be more worry about how loud it's and getting pull over for that.
I can do it at my house. It's easy u gotta get under the car and get the car jacked up all the way. When i installed jamesbizzles cat delete, i was WAY under the car. Took 25 minutes after that. It's all about having the right tools and extensions. =]

Not a very difficult install IMO. Just get a long as extension and you're good to go ... but you gotta get your car on jackstands
ya i go the bolts off the cat by the o2 sensor... And i got one bolt off of the connection to the headers, bu i couldnt get the other bolt off and i couldnt getthe o2 sensor off i dont have a wrench that fits the nut...

Sooo Mr. Baller, where do you go? Haha..
Whats the penalty for having a test pipe in the even i ever get pulled over and checked? I was thinking of just puttin the heat shielding around the test pipe to make it look like one is on there...

I'm not sure about the specifics but from what I've heard, could be thousand(s) of dollars in fines, or even getting the car impounded.
Seems to be somewhere around $1500 penalty from CA, possible fines up to $2500 from the Federal government, as well as getting your car impounded.
