Thanks. I never mentioned the fact that it was a biotch to get the cat out but I just took my time.

I'm sure the cat removal was a little more time and labor intensive, but you accomplished the job without affecting any of the original dimensions or causing any alignment issues. I would say that you have figured ouy the best way to do the cat removal. Your method offers up new possibilities for me to re-engage my OEM header improvement project, thanks again for sharing.

Wow, great idea. I think I may be doing it the same way. Thanks for the pic.
