Re: 5ktq exhaust braccket

John;

    When I did this job on my '91 200q 10v, I removed the cat to get the
passenger side mount in. In retrospect, it would have been easier (and
cheaper) to buy two sets of the drivers side mount and use a bolt instead of
the passenger side mount with the attached stud.
