I just put a new motor in my v, the headers and cat back don't fit with the connectors I have, they extend a few inches too far. Anyone have advice? It's pacesetter headers and Corsa exhaust.

You'll have to cut and/or weld it yourself or take it to a shop that'll do that for you. It's pretty common. My 1-7/8" OBX headers + Kook 6760FC cats + Magnaflow 16637 setup needed serious modification as well.

Gotchya, I just wanted to make sure before I pull the grinder and welder out. I only need 1.5 inches.

What changed with your new engine setup? Custom motor mounts that moved the engine back?

No I switched to Pacesetter headers and the exhaust doesn't meet up with the headers. It's like the headers are 2 inches longer than stock.
