Congrats on having a cool dealer. One of just a few, most are ********. A bung is a small price for saving $1000 for a cat.

Thanks, The next saga is the last time I added a bung there was really only one place to get it far enough from the manifold and still be angled downward a bit was on the passenger side. That shop wanted me to leave it and charged me $75.00 to add the bung. He dropped the cross member and y-pipe. I could tell he did.

So this time the muffler shop was gone so I went to another. I showed the guy where I wanted it and he whips out a small angle drill with one of those cone shaped stepped drill bits and runs her in there. He grabs a shop vac that had a small hose taped to the end and sucks out the chips. Does a beautiful weld with an old o2 in the bung and then puts mine in after a short cool. All this as fast as I can type this. For $20.00 !!!! I tipped him a $5.00 for using the shop vac. Even if I could blow it out through the Cat & Corsa.
I need to buy some Lotto tickets!

When you say "angled downward", you mean like this, right? I hope so.

Cool. I've posted that pic a couple times. Mostly just for the newbies to see how it's supposed to be done. I've seen them installed in the bottom half of the pipe, unfortunately.
