Also looked at the bolts that are holding the catalytic converters on and did a little internal crying...

On positive note my home made ramps are holding up fine and car doesn't bottom out going onto them...

Mine looked like 2 from the top and one from the bottom and with any luck they will all snap before the (what appears to be a nut) strips... Then hopefully I can get under their and drill out the leftovers once everything is out of the way...

Think thats best case scenario... I was going to saturate them with pb blaster but the threads look non existent at this point..

I think I may be the only person that has removed all of the bolts from under the car. I have swapped cats in and probably a total of 3 times and I always get them from underneath.

I did that swap before I looked on here about recommendations and I really didn't think it was too bad

Ill just go ahead and have nightmares about them for the next 4 months or so.. New cats and exhaust dont mind hanging out in the basement until motivation levels are elevated.

He text back nothing but the best...

So was like wtf does that mean did you not mix it...

And he text back no never mixed it lol guess its not going to freeze over the winter... Surprised I didn't have any problems with it in the summer.

***** compact compared to the superduty double cab, and probably smaller than our Camry.

^ Volk GT-Cs look pretty good on our cars IMO and I don't say that about a lot of aftermarket wheels.
