Cat delete pipe?

I live in Mi, where heavy salt in the winter is the norm. If I install an aftermarket stainless turbo back system with a Cat delete pipe how hard will it be to re-install the cat if warranty work comes-up? Anybody living in the north have any info? Thanks

If exhaust for the 6.0 is anything like the 7.3, the "cat delete" pipe portion of the system is not really a removable part. Might be different for the 6.0 though.

What does the salt have to do with the exhaust though? Factory exhaust is a stainless steel IIRC?

Thanks, I was thinking some Hi-Temp antieze would be a good thing on the bolts and on where the pipes slide together. Any thoughts?
