Default QTP Offroad Y-Pipe install?

Hey guys I just recieved my QTP 3" Y-Pipe and it came in pieces, anyone know or have pics of how it is suppose to look like when put together? Also do you weld it together or will the clamps be fine that came with it? I Feel stupid asking but nothing was marked and there is no directions. Thanks for the help. Oh and this is going on a 2000 Trans AM WS6.

I hope it all fits together and bolts up right. Mine was way off and needed to be cut and re-welded to fit.

yea mine sucks too, i wish i never spent all that money on a dual cutout y pipe, im almost willing to trade it for a regular one it leaks, hangs bout 3-4inches from the ground and bangs the floorboard.. people say they can get them to fit, but its either gona bang floorboard or hang low or their full of ****, id love to see mine fit correctly. Because of low ground clearance i smashed one of the qtecs on a manhole, i sent them an email saying that the ground clearance was the problem and should have never happened, they said give us a call, a rebuild is only about 30 dollars, the thing is this one prolly can not be rebuilt, it got the motor ripped out of it, but who knows i hear their customer service is really good, and other than that the y pipe is fine, if it fit with out such low ground clearance, it would be thebest Ypipe out there!

Yea i was pretty pissed about it but didn't really think about calling them as it was an issue that needed to be fixed ASAP. I was more worried about getting it to a shop then calling and getting my money back. I just let it go...it would probably been more trouble in getting my money back. I love their headers though!!!

The Y-pipe is a bitch indeed, but it flows very very well. I only lost 1rwhp through closed cutouts and an SLP 2OTL catback. Shows the free flowing nature of that merge collector.
