wagon? The rear catalytic converter on my subaru needs to be replaced, the flanged end that bolts with springs onto the rear front exhaust pipe has completely corroded away. I already have the cat, gaskets, and spring and bolt kit ready for me to pick up. To replace this, is any welding involved or is this something I can do myself? I have replaced alternators, starters, brakes, radiators, etc., I am just having a hard time finding how-to info on this one. Thanks.
To add, I don't live in a state where they have to be registered before being installed or where only mechanics can purchase them, as I said I already have the parts waiting for me to pick up. The only part that is rotted is the converter itself, the connecting pipes are fine, and from all the info I have found it appears that it is just spring-bolted onto the pipe with a gasket in between.
