You will have to cut about a 1/4" off the pass side pipe out of the muffler.

One car garage, jackstands, floor jack, hooker catback? TOO EASY! Probably the most difficult part you will come across aside from pullin the old pile of junk out is lining up the tips correctly. You'll love the sound. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Installing hooker cat back

I just installed my Hooker cat back this weekend. I had to buy a new 2 3/4" exhaust band clamp to connect the I-pipe to the Y-pipe. The tips took some time to get perfectly alligned. Other than that, too easy!!
