i am still having problems getting the nuts off of the downpipe-cat section. I am considering just cutting the bolts to get them off, then i have to get new bolts. but how do you get the old bolts out of the cat?

Its usually pretty hard to get them off cuz they are rusted or whatever...thats what happened to me...i got everything off except for those bolts and i began to strip the thing. So ended up taking to a shop where they used an air gun. Hope that helps a bit.

how much was it?

heat em up, pound on a socket that fits snug, take the socket off, let cool, then use socket to turn off the nuts. thats what i did.
