He stated awhile back that he was cool that this was turning into the Supra thread so I accepted the challenge 
Btw I saw your post about stock cat on the Supra forum. My Supra has 19 track hours on it now with the stock cat. I’ll take some photos of its condition once I pull it off the car this winter.
Also, I’m just waiting for the Black Friday sale to grab my aero 😎

The hinge mounts werent too big of a pain. It was more of there being 1000 nuts and bolts. The template they supply kind of sucks too so I had the splitter on and off a few times to make sure I got the spots right for the riv-nuts. It was a good thing I did check cause their template was off about a 1/2". Then compressing 10 riv-nuts took forever since there was not enough room for me to get my real tool in there. Its a very straight forward install, just a lot of on and off to verify everything is in the correct spot.

Or at least that's what I tell myself every time I read an EvoM post from someone claiming they swapped their alternator in 15 minutes.

I'm convinced that 80% of car DIY work goes this way: The main steps are easy in theory, but first-time learning curve, little complications everywhere, and extra attention to detail add up to taking 5X longer than whatever the forum folks said it would take.
