tips for installing y pipes?
tips for installing y pipes? well THE VERY LAST thing thats stopping me from driving my car right now is getting the y pipe all the way back on the collectors, (which will let me slide it back on the I pipe)...anyone have any tips? i know alot of it is just muscling it back into place.. i was using a little WD40 around where the ypipe sits on the collector and using a malet.. but unfortunately the malet broke in half 
. so what are your proven methods / tips?

Leave everything loose as you put it up there, and of course loosen the Catback.
I pull both hangers at the rear, as well as loosen the clamp at the i pipe/over the axle pipes.
I nice 5 pound rubber mallet works. I also always use a little emory cloth, or 90 degree grinder withe a 3M pad and clean my mating surfaces up. Add some silicone spray and go at it.
A prybar and a rubber hammer get the job done with have the strain. If you don't have the tools, I don't know what to tell ya.
At the least, clean up all your surfaces. It takes a bit of muscling, but you'll get it.

its not that im having problems with the I pipe.. i have the Y connected to the collectors, i just need to slide it up another inch. i think ill try backing it out, cleaning the surfaces, and try sliding it back into place?
