Although thinking further, would have to be done on the drive, which isn't very responsible.

Without a ramp, I think I'd be inclined to remove the cat and do on a bench  :-\

If it was my car, now that I have the equipment, I wouldn't hesitate to do on the drive with car jacked onto Ramps, although i'd be weary of pets and kids being around. Don't want any arc eye issues.
But first time on another members car, as you say without a lift... Maybe better to take it to Serek or Master if he's not too busy.


But either way, he will need the link for the bosses.

All dbw v6s suffer from it, because, by virtue of being far superior, dbw cars have two cats per bank ::)

If removed, the pre cat can be smashed out. Otherwise, I wouldn't remove them. Master did all ours on the car after all. Very easy access.
