Someone welded my aftermarket rear exhaust section to my stock cats, which is why my X-pipe is still sitting in the garage

Get one of these, cut it off

I love this tool, extremely handy and beats dragging out the big saws all, I got mine at Home Depot, Case battery and charger.
But it was like 130 not 250, must have been a sale

I have an '85 S3 Manual that has the Ott X and Hi-Performance CATS (no Air Pump), I looked but I do not have a good pic of the underside of the car and is not local
From what I recall, it all looked good to me and so I didn't change anything, when I can I'll take some pics of the install and post them.

I went through thousands of my repair pictures and can't find a single one of an X with cats. Amazing because I take pictures of everything.

Buy a Rigid tool pipe cutter, it'll cut the pipe clean, no burs, and it won't deform the exhaust pipes. You could also pick up a pipe expander, make it easy to slip one pipe into another. Do it right the first time..
