Catback Install Question

[VAFiST]

Hopefully this is an easy answer that will probably be apparent once i get the car on the lift and i'll slap myself on the back of the head saying "duh".

I'm doing my catback install next weekend and I'd like to get around cutting (return to stock/parting it out), from my understanding all I need is to lower the rear subframe and I can work it out that way. My question is does anyone have or know of any pictures of that area? and any special thing I'd need to get it off over doing it the cutting way?

Should be a good day though: Cobb FMIC, MBRP Catback, CP-E RMM.
Thanks in advance.

A bit off thread but how do you like your CP-E RMM? I'm going to install mine soon.

If you don't mind cutting the exhaust and being able to re-use it, it may be a simpler operation. Otherwise, I haven't read of anyone dropping the subframe and keeping the exhaust intact uncut. Here's how I cut and able to re-use my stock exhaust.

vlaST, I should be getting the CP-E mount on tuesday and putting it on when I go to the lift this upcoming weekend. So I will let you know.

Koozy, Thanks I took a look at your thread, lots of good info! Shall come in handy with the intercooler this weekend and in the spring/summer when I do my downpipe. I guess once I get it up we'll see how it goes, I'd truly like to avoid it but I might pick up a pipe cutter from HF like you did just in case, not sure if they'll have one at the place I use the bay at.

yeah, not much use for a pipe cutter other than that, but I found that I can use it to cut open my oil filters for the ST

Yea, It'll probably add to my collection of tools I've used twice. Good thing it's only 15 bucks.
