Alright its pretty much all coming together now...but now I have an issue with the y pipe. Since its just the stock catback with a flowmaster muffler (car came this way) its not a permanant setup for me. So I got the exhaust and everything hooked up...but the y pipe seems kind of loose, like the part where the y and exhaust meet has a bit of play in it. Is this a cause for concern? Or am I going to be alright?

Well it's gonna be loose anyway. The Y is a 3" and stock catback pipe is 2.75" I believe.

Kind of hard to say without seeing. Did you use band clamps?

Where is it loose? The collectors to Y pipe, the actual Y pipe connection where it comes together, or Y pipe to catback?
