Other than replacing my exhaust manifold, I have never worked on an exhaust system.
I think my catalytic converter needs to be replaced, and I found this for $80.
So instead of trying to replace the cat alone, I'd like to just replace the entire system.
I think this will be easy? Please tell me if I’m missing something.

- Remove transmission skid (use jack to support transmission).
- Unplug both 02 sensors (I have only two on the 2.5).
- Detach down-pipe from manifold (done this before, bolts should be good).
- Detach all exhaust hangers and let the whole exhaust system drop to the ground.
- Move 02 sensor to new down-pipe (I just recently replaced it).
- Put new downstream 02 sensor in new catalytic converter.
- Attach new down-pipe and cat (currently one piece) to exhaust manifold with a new ring seal.
- Attach muffler to cat with band clamp.
- Attach tail pipe to muffler with band clamp.
- Replace transmission skid.
