Default replacing plugs with clogged cat?

I'm doing the plenum fix in the morning, and I plan on doing the cap, rotor, and plugs. I know my cat is clogged and as soon as I get payed on Teusday I plan on getting my direct fit high flow cat ordered. Will it foul my new plugs if I put them in before my new cat? Or will they be alright for a little bit? Thanks fellas, wishvme luck on the fix tomorrow!

Why not gut the cat till you get the replacement?

You have to cut the cat off, and take a thick piece of rebar and a hammer and beat the sh!!t out of it. lol


So, yes, it requires a welder usually.

Your plugs should be fine till Tuesday, if there is a problem, it SHOULD only affect the rear-most ones, ie, 7 & 8. If they become a problem in that short amount of time, just replace those two. (yes, I know no. 7 is a pain)
