I got about 3 hours trying to install this thing. When I get all the pipes fully connected, The short pipe that goes inbetween the resonator & the tail end of the Y pipe is too short, wtf???? anyone else experience this? it looks like im going have to have freaking exhaust shop install this thing or I need to get a extention piece made

Is the hook plate behind passanger side rear wheel bolted on ? was your Y pipe ever shortened? I had a problem with the pipe after the bullet not having the correct bend or the correct expantion on it. The piece in question on mine is 10" long FWIW.

if the pipe is only like 1/4" off or so, try using a 3" band clamp

We'll I found out someone installed the small pipe inside the resonator about 2.25" too much. Im going to see if a exhaust shop can slide that pipe out of the resonator which would give me more pipe to slide onto the Y pipe.
