AWE cats
Last night after long day @ work I tore the bumper off and installed the cats!
It was probably easier then the cans, to be honest with u. I just wish I had taken pics of the install
. Anyway the bumper removal was about 6 minutes and the rest took about 1 and half hours. I took it for a spin and I can no longer hear the whale of the Evoms. I dont feel any boost, but I am disconnecting the battery on Sunday

I guess with the car on the ground it would be worth it. I did the full A.W.E. system in about 3.5 hours from start to finish without removing the rear fascia, but I used a lift.

How much louder was the car with the AWE cats? I have the PSE (unplugged for always on). I'd be happy with a somewhat louder/even sportier tone from the exhaust. Would PSE get the car there?

I have the AWE Cats and PSE, I find it loud enough with PSE off. Without the cats I found that PSE wasn't that lod at all.

Nice work on the DIY! I got confirmation yesterday from AWE that my Cats and Headers were shipped out. I'm hoping this is a DIY that I can handle! I too am not the most mechanically inclined person but if Jim can do it so can I. 
Rookie question? - is not standard practice to disconnect the battery prior to doing the install? By doing this would you avoid having to do an ECU reset post install?
