Default Installing Borla Y-pipe

I was going to install my borla y-pipe soon. I was looking at the existing y-pipe...everything looks pretty straight forward. Any hints?

My only concern are the studs from the down pipe the the y-pipe flanges bolt to. No big deal if you slather them with liquid wrench the night before..right?

Thanks for any hints or tips in advance.

It's very easy.Only minor problem I had when installing my Y was inserting the new Y into the I pipe.I slightly beveled the end with my grinder and then just wiggled it into place.It took about 30 mins. with 2 people.

Anyone using the Borla Y-pipe along with the Metco driveshaft loop? Does it hit, or are there any clearance problems? Thanks. WJ. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
