The car has open headers now. It looks like im gonna have to cut that little I-pipe and expand it. If anybody has anypics of that setup under the car that would be great.

I had the same problem. The LM is designed to work with factory y-pipe. So the LM inlet is smaller than the 3-inch pacesetter y-pipe. Cut the inlet off the LM and weld on a increaser to fit over the y-pipe. That's what I did.
