    I love that Chris fix still has the Jaguar so he can make a video every time something goes wrong
  • At 7:49 I just learned something new... I had never thought about removing the blade and placing my to-be-cut part WITHIN the saw. That's insane. Thanks
  • Chris you’ve given me the confidence to go under my car and replace things myself. Congrats to all your success buddy and I’ve been watching your videos for some time now
  • @der_conni
    Most tutorials totally miss the most important step: Start her up with an open exhaust. Thanks for not missing that!
  • @sanddagger36
    "You can clearly hear and smell the exhaust" Sure we can, Chris
  • @camdendexter
    Chris you're a life saver. Thank you so much! I have to do this exact repair on my wife's Saturn Vue and was a bit intimidated but feel a lot better about tackling it now!
  • @MiraiKun5600
    Day 3 of asking chris to make a car audio install series - head unit - stock speaker replacement - aftermarket tweeter and sub install - amplifier/preamp/eq - etc.

    50% of chrisfix's audience doesn't even need to know this but we still think it's fun to watch. edit: I got a heart from cf my life is complete

    I'm replacing a catalytic converter on a 2003 Buick LeSabre this weekend and watching this video tutorial made me realize I should consider having several additional tools handy to make the job easier. Thank you again for uploading useful content. You're a great mechanic 🧰😉👍
  • @witchcraftauto
    Man, it's so great to see that you are doing all these repairs in your driveway on your back, like a lot of us do! I have access to a shop I can use anytime I want, but it's a 40 min drive from my house and all my tools are at home!
  • @Nikku42069
    Its so funny everytime he says “dont ask me how i know that” 😂😂
  • @RyanDIY89
    I love how clear and detailed your videos are. From assembling to any issues that may come about and how to fix them. You are a legend. Thank you for everything you do.
  • @raze1669
    I really like how you always show both sides like when you explained the difference of the saws or if the coupler doesnt fit well. its such a good walk through
  • @Bxrry
    Let that Jaguar roar
  • Anyone else waiting for his mom to show up and give him "the look" as he was revving the truck with open exhaust?
  • I have the Same car just a few years older, I’ve been wanting to do a muffler delete on it for a while but I wasn’t sure how it would sound but now I’m definitely straightpiping it!Chris you’re the best!
  • @Deviant2591
    I've been watching your videos for a little over 3 weeks I'm still curious about learning more. I rewatch your videos all the time. I actually recenty dry cleaned my engine, I've ordered the equipment you told me about to help me save some money and I have saved literally over already 30 bucks so far Thank you.
