Failing inspection because of a leak between the y-pipe and cat. A couple of questions:
1) Looks like 3 bolts holding everything together. Ain't no way those are coming out. I think I have enough room to get a sawzall in there at the joint. Yes? Other suggestions? Do I need to unbolt the Y-pipe to get at the flange bolts?
2) Can't tell whether those are through bolts or studs on the cat? If studs, I guess I'll have to remove the cat and drill out the studs and replace with bolts?
