Cat/Exhaust Install

Hello everyone.<br /><br />So, the day before I left on vacation, some wonderful soul decided to cut the catalytic converters out from under my truck, and they took the entire exhaust system with them. Hooray! I ordered the Magnaflow 93312 replacement, and am getting ready to install it, a new O2 sensor, and new air tube either this afternoon or tomorrow. I also have a new muffler, and a local shop is fabbing up a new tailpipe for me. I have the AllData procedure printed and ready to go, but I was hoping someone might have a few tricks up their sleeve to make this project easier.<br /><br />Truck is a '93 F-150 4x4 with 5.8L &amp; E4OD.<br />

Soak the bolts on the exhaust manifolds several times before attempting to remove them. The last thing you want is a messed up manifold that will delay the project.

When you get new installed, get all the nuts started, on both sides(driver/passenger) and then get u-bolts on loosely, before tightening everything down, kinda of sneak up on it, like how you, catch a unique elephant, u-nique up on it
