Take your time peicing together the y-pipe. It can become very frustrating to get all the angles right. Just take your time and if you get messed up don't be afraid to take the y-pipe all apart and start over. That's what I had to do to get it on and tucked up really nice under the body.

Did you have to use a lift for the install or regular floor jack? Also is a welder needed to finish the job? Thanks!

Congrats on the install!! Looking forward to doing mine very soon

You can do it wit a regular floor jack and jack stands. I did mine that way. You don't need a welder per se, but it's a nice way to ensure you remain leak free. I had my Y pipe and cat welded after I installed my headers

grats on the easy install. I know when I installed mine in 2005... they were a pain in the ***... especially the passenger side rear bolt.
