  1. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    I finally got around to gutting the precats. Huge hat tip to OldMan and his "How to Remove Pre-Cats (revised)" post. Now that everything is buttoned up, I can't recall how pungent the exhaust odor was prior to this evolution. The car has been sitting in my garage for the winter, with periodic...
  2. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    Recently purchased an 03 with 110K and finally got around to deleting the precat. Easy enough to break out the cat, it's the multiple broken bolts that are taking additional time. broke off all 3 of the 3 amigos and another 3 of the heat shield retainer bolts. I was able to work 2 of the broken...
  3. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    I replaced both of the pre-cat / upstream O2 sensors in May of 2018 (recorded a video of it if it helps anyone - youtube.com/watch?v=YTlInhDg1VI) .

  6. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    Hello, I have searched the forum and still unsure of what parts are needed when gutting precats. I understand that a manifold gasket is needed, exhaust pipe connection gasket, 3 nuts for exhaust (because they are one time use nuts). However, one poster had toyota install new studs in manifold...

  8. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    I'm not a mechanic. I had a shop decat manifold. They used cheap gasket (from looks of it) and they broke top left bolt that holds heat shield. Currently everything seems to be working fine (no engine lights.) I've been told here that the gasket will surely breakup and cause havoc. I did buy...
  9. Performance Modifications
    Since the precat on my model is a huge deal, 2000 MR2 Spyder, is there a way of completely doing away with it? There is no local shops that will take care of the precat clean out and I am not sure I want to rely on me since I have a record of damaging engines... :o If so, please explain such as...
  10. Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting
    Own a 2001 with 87K on it - recently purchased. Because of all the precat chatter in this Forum (which I found after buying the car), I pulled the O2 sensors. Drivers side looks like a smooth mesh, but the passenger side looks like it has a crack and is burnt along the cracked edge. I'm...
