Maybe a little too late but on the x-pipe the the two pipes that attach to the mufflers should be going up. If the two pipes are pointing down then you got it on upside down. that make sense? basically when installed correctly the x should look like it goes down then comes up. On the driver side l1 pipe i banged in a little bit of the body where it was touching with a bigasshammer to get a little more clearance. Just keep working with it youll get her.

You did remove the tunnel brace didnt you? If not get rid of it, you dont need it.

look in this thread for a picture of the x upside down.

in a non-lowered car you should be able to get around a coke can of clearance through most of it. flip the fuel line brackets for some extra clearance.

Throw the tunnel brace (driveshaft safety brace) in the trash, flip the fuel line bracket, then re-install the fuel lines. They might need a little "convincing".

The X pipe is kind of tilted down toward the ground as it goes toward the back of the car, then those straight back sections go back up.

You can sorta see it in this pic...

After you get everything sitting purty, put the jack under the dumps and jack the bitch up. I got my driver side bullet to ride inside the tunnel with a little strategic bashing. There's more pics of it before it had the extensions if you click my sig.

The more time you spend, the better these things will fit.
