Took me 2 days to install these things, Pain in the *** Satan's bolt got me good. Broke both top header to cat bolts, that's with soaking it with PB blaster for 5 hours.

Anyways, after getting the factory cats out, I swear this is probably some Japanese assembly worker's idea of a cruel joke. Probably torqued that single bolt to 200ft lbs with thread lock on it.

Anyways, it's off, installed and I'm totally busted up.

Disconnected the battery, stepped on the brakes a few times. Go to start her up, everything is perfect.

I take her for a drive and within 5 minutes the SES light is blinking. It blinks for maybe a full 5 minutes and then goes off for maybe 5 minutes and comes back and blinks for 5 minutes. Like a cycle. Sometimes when I floor it it goes off.

I heard that with the SES blinking, it could be a misfire? Any ideas guys?
