I replaced my maniverter yesterday and it went well, though not easy with the small space! But the way you went about it was a lot easier than other recommendations. Thanks for posting this!

I like the way you took that cat out some people have alot of trouble after removing all bolts but cant manage to slide it out.

I am doing the same thing rite now I bent the find on the old one but I can't bend them on the new manifold so I cut the fire wall where the heat sheild goes easier than taken the sub frame out or motor mounts

I just did mine sunday it was a nightmare three of the four heat shield bolts broke the mounting bracket bolts that connect to engine came off easy but one 10mm bolts that connect to manifold stripped out i had to use a cut off wheel to get it out. The seven exhaust bolts came off pretty easy didnt want to break those. But i tried to slide the maniverter out the same way you did it on the video but it wasnt coming out. After spending too much time i decided to remove the valve cover and then i was able to get it out. I was pretty beat up doing this job.

@@Takeover738 Yeah I have had the p420 code on for about 2 years now. Luckily my county doesn't do emissions inspection. I'm pretty sure the engine probably has worn valve seals because I have to take off my throttle body about 2-3 times a year and clean a puddle of oil that pools up in the intake. So I'm sure if I changed the cat it will just get damaged again in time due to oil contamination. And I'm not about to go tear apart the engine to replace seals. That's far beyond my expertise.

Your way seems faster than removing the engine mounts.

I believe I have cracks in my exhaust manifold (2012 Jeep Patriot 2.4L 4WD) because when I have the car idling or even driving between 1k rpms to 2k rpms I hear this thumping/tapping noise that is getting on my nerves. I checked everything else, I'm going to have to connect a garage shop vacuum and have the side blowing out air taped to the exhaust. Then blow air through my exhaust from the tailpipe and spray water mixed with soap all around the exhaust to see where bubbles may be forming so I'll know there's air coming out from a leak.

I appreciate the video! I just want to ask, do you have to have this jacked up to replace it? Or do I not need to worry about that?

question: if you go through the trouble of removing the whole thing anyway, why not just replace the part? to do all this then just patch the cracked manifold with jb weld seems silly. it's a $300 part.

@@uglyoldbob yes, but this part is prone to cracking, and will probably crack again in another spot(s) sooner rather than later. I would be cursing myself as i was taking the manifold off AGAIN. Your time is worth the cost.

His method is actually the best option. Today’s cars are very prone to having exhaust manifold leaks or cracks. You replace it with new. The new one will crack very soon. Waste of money.

My objective was to try to save money if possible. The repair didn't hold and i replaced it anyways, so i was only out the cost of the jb weld. As far as i know there is not emissions inspection in ohio.
