Can this job be done entirely from under the car as access from the top looks to be a nightmare...?

Hmmmm... the silence speaks volumes... I'm guessing I'm on my own with this one... I'll try and make a how-to while I'm at it.

When i had mine fitted at MIJ they went from the bottom and top....i was under the impression that it was easy enough to do at home but the guy who did it was a bit of a ****

Had my local garage fit my de-cat pipe. I did get underneath and have a look at it, but didn't rate my chances of holding everything together and balancing the locking ring over the 2 ends.

Yes it is not as difficult a job as it looks. Start by getting the undertray off. It obviously helps if you have access to a ramp

I done it te cheap way. Jacked up front of car took off undertray

Removed 2 17mm bolts holding exhaust to gearbox ten removes 3 13mm nuts securin the down pipe tonthe pre cat. I then dropped the exhaust out the way as it's on the flexi it rested in the floor. I then removed the 17mm collar holding the temp sensor in the pre cat pulled that out the way and then drilled through the pre cat material with a big drill bit to hollow it all out so it's not a hole all the way through and runs like a dream and looks as standard too hope this helps cost me nothing lol
