Ok so here it is. Finally got my cats out and placed in the test pipes. Have to say the ark exhaust and cnt test pipe combo is intoxicating. I can feel a gain in power, and with a proper tune I think it will a bigger difference.
So the battle with the cats ended with the Dremel. The one bolt on the passenger side was the only problem. All the bolts in the driver side came out easy. I was able to sneak an air tool Dremel through the engine bay and cut the head off. Mind you if you were going to try to Dremel the bolt on the driver side, good luck! they're is absolutely no space to get the tool there.
Here are some pics.
Test pipes in.
