When you change the cat is when it gets into muddy waters. Its always best to check with your dealer.
You have to raise the engine to change out the cat? That's, well that's, nuts. I've never owned a car where I couldn't easily swap out the cat myself with some ramps or jack stands. Not sure I feel comfortable with a shop lifting the engine. I could have swore there were some other members who changed cats and there wasn't a mention of having to raise the engine.
