I had to take off the cats due to another diy while waiting for the turbos to come back...it’s way easier to install (therefore pull out) the turbos with them off. I know the service manual actually calls for you to remove the alternator and oil return pipes, but i worked around it.

I did reuse the v band clamps...and I have pulled them off before and reused them. Just make sure you get new gaskets and take your time putting them back on
