cutting out the cat on a 92, room to remove?

[dwcopple]

if i Sawzall out the cat on the K1500 XC, is there room to wiggle it out past the remainder of the exhaust or do I need to remove everything rear of it first? Seems like it could be a challenge due to the crossrails. Lemme know!

I am busy right now on the exhaust of my K1500 and I think you will struggle big time without removing everything after the cat.

Ugh, dang it

What if I take the midpipe out of its hanger?

Pretty sure he means, if you make straight cuts on each side of the cat, why wouldn't it come straight down? Barring crossmember or other components keeping it from dropping.

torsion bars are in the way, as well as the framework that holds them.

Why are you asking us? You can see what needs to be done.

Instructions for making an elephant sculpture: Get a big rock, chip away everything that doesn't look like an elephant.

Instructions for cutting the cat out of your truck: Get under there, cut the pipe ahead and behind the cat, then remove everything in the way until you can wiggle the thing out, or it falls on the ground.

Seems to me that you don't need "advice", you need to get angry and start accomplishing your goal.

Or get your wallet out and take it to someone that will do it for you.
