- I found a drill and dremel combo easiest. The bastard holesaw drew blood. nm lp ('95 5/Spd) 22:04:46 9/04/2002 (0)
- I ended up drilling like 50 holes around the perimeter and basically punching it out then smoothing it out with a small grinding tool.....nm James (2 VE's) 11:57:51 9/04/2002 (0)

- Sorry, this is for the metal sheet where the resonator pipe currently goes down into. n/m The Max (92 J30 Maxima (turbo project underway)) 05:33:21 9/04/2002 (5)
  - If the sheetmetal is rigid enough and you're not worried about something behind it, I'd say the holesaw. nm Albert ('97gxe) 07:11:30 9/04/2002 (4)
    - for the standard cai--> Matt K (89 SE 5spd) 11:14:58 9/04/2002 (3)
      - Argh....that bracing welded to the back is the biggest freakin pain....I had to sit there and bend it back and forth till it broke off.....nm James (2 VE's) 11:55:57 9/04/2002 (2)
        - Me too. plasma cutter if you have access to one. :) nm Matt (93SE) 13:17:17 9/04/2002 (1)
          - indeed... that was one of the billion or so times I've said, "Damn, why don't I have a plasma cutter?" Matt K (89 SE 5spd) 14:47:22 9/04/2002 (0)
