Does it work okay having the cat that far back?

I have to comment that you should change the name from "easy" to "neat and clean". I thought I was doing it wrong after 25 mins into the first cut and it was still not cut through until I realized you cut a large section of your time out. I have been single WAY too long to not have the grip strength to be able to do this if it were easy.....

Well depending on the positioning of the cats. The universal ones might not be the best fit, and yes they are really expensive, but a good mechanic should be able to pin down the one that isn't working properly by what the 02 sensors are saying. Are you getting 02 sensors codes or what's the reason he wants you to change them? Mechanics like to lie to lady's since they aren't as well versed on vehicles, but good on your for doing your own research! How come they need to be changed?
