What is involved with dropping both catalytic converters and replacing?
I don't have access to a lift, and need to replace all hardware (clamps, nuts, gaskets).
Cost?
Difficulty?
Time?

just take it to a exhause shop and get new flex joints put on..
it will only be about $130 per side and be done with it for now unless your cats are really bad.. i also have a 96 a4 2.8qm and just had a new flex joint put on the pass side about 2 weeks ago i can give you the place if you like.. in shawnee ks it cost me $130 for one side i had them do the other side about 3 years ago and its still good ..

yeah, def a better way to go!
I spent $20 on a flex joint and had midas weld one in for me for $50 (out the door). I ended up having to go back in there to reweld as the monkey didn't get the weld hot enough and it just flaked/rusted off 6 months down the road... but still, much cheaper than replacing everything!
