Fitting a decat pipe .. on the drive
Hi .. Is it possible to remove the cat and fit a decat pipe to a 2.4 puma without use of ramps or a pit? Preferably I'd like to keep the cat and pipe in one piece. (Or am I just better off getting an exhaust place to do it for me?)

Thanks 2008 Defender 110 XS SW - M57N2 / 6HP28X

With the crossmember and front propshaft disconnected the catalytic convertor can be removed on the drive. The engine itself may need pressure applied with a jack to give you the extra 5mm room to manipulate the cat out. It can be difficult but achievable.

Few tips....

The x member can be a pain to remove sometimes so I've heard, but not always.
I've just left my cat as standard and put in a straight trough centre section. Can't be bothered to be honest. Whistle
