I have a DE. I PB blastered the hell out of every bolt. At first glance I was sure I couldn't do it due to lack of space. I crawled under there and just went at it. I also had a friend who helped. That helped a lot. Call up a buddy and go at it! As for a video I found this when I was about to do the install. They do it from the top though so I don't think it'll help that much but:

Does our's (de) have the support bracket as well? (can't remember)

Also, what did you use for the o2 sensors?

yeah it has support brackets but it comes off with the cats. You put the o2 sensors in the HFCs! I did use any non foulers. I can live with a CEL.

Just wondering, did you put gasket sealant when you installed the new hfc's? I heard it was only necessary for older vehicles or something.

edit: just watched that video and he didnt add any gasket sealant either. Is he risking a possible leak?

When i got my Fast Intentions cats put on the shop did it ALL from underneath...bit of a struggle but they got it done...no messing with the intakes at all or goin in from the top of the engine bay
