    If you can safely get under the car/get access to it and have some basic tools then it's surely not a bad job. A simple bolt in car shouldn't take very long

    Have you diagnosed for sure that the cat is gone? And more importantly, what caused the cat to go on such a new car?

    It may well be gone now, but what I'm saying is that a cat on a perfectly functioning 5-6 year old car will not fail. Something else is wrong which has caused the cat to fail. You need to have the problem diagnosed properly (lamda readings, cat function, afm/map readings etc) otherwise you will likely end up damaging your new cat too.

    just had a friend of my brothers look at it seems the seal is gone on the bottom of the cat and 3 bolts are missing that hold the cat in place
