93-95 are single-cat...to fit it onto your 95 youre gonna need that s pipe...there was a thread on this not too long ago. but, in a nutshell, slp sells the s pipe in a kit for like 70+ with hangers and some nuts and washers etc. your exhaust shop should be able to fab somethin up for you though and reuse the hangers you have now. so there really isnt any reason to buy it. i bought the s pipe and feel dumb for having done so. it was way too expensive. that s pipes just a 3in. bent tube. since 96-97s are single cat you dont need the s pipe. so that kit is basically just hangers.

Yea dont waste your money. I just bought the cat-back and brought it to the shop. They didnt even have to "fab" up the that pipe. They simply cut the pipe far enough back that the first piece of the loudmouth slipped on in the right location. I see no reason why anyone would buy it.

you would have to weld a flange to your existing pipe so you can unbolt the LM.

I think that S Pipe is a slip fit piece anyway. So you are looking at the same tear down. I could take mine apart just fine. At any rate...good luck...and go make some noise!

Oh you sure could. You will need to be able to cut the factory pipe...so you will need a hack saw or sawzall...and other than that the firment is quite good. I test fit all my pieces and then went to a shop with it. Only because I wanted it all welded up. They only charged me $35
