Step 1:
Remove 2nd cat and remove 2nd O2 sensor (make sure to work sensor in/out and don't force. Use lot's of PTB. Also remove the pipe between 1st cat and 2nd cat (curved pipe about 8" long)

Yes, I can install and de-install the DP in about 5 minutes now...

I hate you for that.. I still haven't figured out how to bolt the last bolt on my corksport downpipe (mazdaspeed protege turbo kit) (http://picasaweb.google.com/clauretano/TurboProject/photo#5013404423119783218)

Wow. Going to beef up the drive line at all to handle all this HP? And I guess warranty is out the window?

Awesome set up.

BTW: Lived in Tempe for 12 years...I miss AZ.
