Dont stress it man. Thats fun **** to do your first time. Was for me anyways. I would advise against using the pacesetter exhaust gaskets if they still come with the cardboard ones though. They are a pita to remove down the road. But have fun and if you get pissed at something take like a 5 min breather to clear your thoughts. Nothing goes right when you are angry.

I found the y pipe too be the most annoying part. It probably would have been easier with a lift, but mine leaks. I need to get new clamps and try and tighten it all up. I dunno, I thought my tsp y did not fit very well.

It will only go on one way man, no instructions needed. Just take your time.

Curious why you chose the lm1 over the lm2 when going with Lts.
