HFC? Basically I really don't care to disconnect the HFC from the DP and I'm wondering if I can pull the manifold, turbo, HFC and CAT all at once.

Ray, Mark, Will, etc care to chime in.

I'm in the middle of replacing the 28R in case anyone's wondering.

Default with the airbox removed, I don't see why not...

i pulled my cat out through the top yesterday...

that's with the turbo & manifold still installed.

but why bother? it takes no time at all to undo those three bolts

Default no, but my point was...

if there's enough room to pull out my fat stock cat with the K04 and stock mani installed, there's enough room to pull the downpipe up through the top

Default hmm. maybe.

I think the angle at the bottom of the DP is what will make it interesting.

Default straight back.

the flex joint is at the bottom and after that there is a flange and thats the end. The part that hooks to the car with little latch is broke off so its all tubing.

Default fix that little "latch"

i think not having it is responsible for my cat separating.
