Will the starter come out without removing my converters? I just installed CS mounts and was wondering if the added room from the mounts will let the starter drop out?

I've heard it will but even with the cat off, the starter doesn't come out too easily. Mine wasn't hitting the motor mount itself but the lower motor mount bracket. I took an 80grit flappy disc on grinder and relieved the lower bracket a little and now my starter comes out easily.

With cs mounts it will come out without doing anything else, just tip it way up, it will come out. Getting it back in is a bit trickier.

With stock mounts I had to loosen the mount just enough to edge it out.

Removing the cat definitely makes it quicker in either case, but I've not had to..


Interesting tip about shaving the bracket..

It seemed like all I needed was 1/8 or so and you could clearly see where the starter had been rubbing on it as i fought with it so i went at it. Nothing fragile looking about that bracket....wouldn't be the first time I clearanced something like that...
