Install went very well, no hickups at all! I didnt even have to mess with what I thought was a screwed up header bolt hole on the head, but we fixed that . The hardest part was getting the Y pipe on, and damnit, it's banging. The y pipe is hitting the torque arm so I need to go to a shop and have them bend it a little, only took us 8 hours but we had to make part runs and took our dandy ole time

oh yeah, the car is sick fast now.

For a Y-pipe fix you could loosen the header bolts a little and pry the Y-pipe down.

I was thinking about that but I may take ti to a shop and have them heat it up and try to move it a lil bit down that way. My g/f broke her shoe this weekend which happened to be 4"'s of rubber sole and i used a sawzal to cut thru that to put it between the frame and the Y for now so it doesnt bang as much.
