My Dynomax Super Turbo catback just came and I was impatient to open the package and figure out how to install it.
Everything seems pretty straightforward except for this little part that attaches the muffler to the cat:
Apparently the top part is on the cat side and the other one goes into the muffler, but what are these bolts for? Do I have buy additional hardware? The schematic that the system came with does not show how to attach it to the cat converter. Please, explain as if you are explaining it to your 10 yr old...
I was thinking that I am going to cut out the current exhaust at the point where the muffler starts, which is a few inches after the O2(?) sensor. The bottom part of the pictured device slides into the new muffler and gets clamped, but how do I secure it to the pipe right after the sensor, has not come to me yet.
Also, while on the topic of exhaust, it sais that its made from ionized metal. How long does that last? Would it help if I painted it?
I have an AZ and NAPA close by, what paint would you recommend? I assume that there is some additional light coating like grease or something on it, is the oven cleaner still the best remover (see, I searched before asking...)?
Thanks in advance.
