Best time to do plugs as well, if needed.

PB Blaster on all the bolts the night before. Especially the ones from the exhaust manifolds to the cats, cats to the y.

Get new gaskets from the dealer to be safe... DO NOT use the paper crap they come with. Just use stock metal ones (new ones though, don't want a whistle like I had)...

Yeah, just go in this order:

Jack it up slightly, remove old y-pipe...

Lower it, unbolt factory manifolds...

Jack this **** out of it (like in the pic) and then put in the LT's...
