cat delete pipe broken bolt

[jacabean]

I got the welded nuts off . it took a little while for the cheap harbor freight rotary tool to cut through them. i then took a file and cleaned up the area . i also put new cv boots on both axles today. it was nice to have the room with the cat pipes out of the way. what a messy job the cv boots are , i am glad they are done. i will be installing the delete pipes in the a.m. , can't wait to here them with my charlie chan exhaust and BMC air filter.

I'm going to do the same job this weekend. Both test pipe and cv joints.
My plan is to remove the axels from the car and work them on the bench.

Question for steve: why do you need to weld Bungs for the O2 sensors? On 00-04 boxsters all 4 sensors are mounted on the primary cat (one piece with the exhaust manifold. See page 26-6 and 26-8 on the Bentley book )

Am I missing something?
