You just got to keep turning it and trying to find different ways to get it to fit. When I put mine on it kept hitting the bottom as well. I thought that was the only way that it would fit, but you just got to keep messing with it. I hope that this helps you out.

your gonna have to wiggle it around a pretty good amount. If your car is on jacks your prob gonna scratch up your back trying to move around with it. What i did was lowered my car back down....and rejacked it up with a few pieces of wood between the jack and the car so that id have more clearence...hope it works out for you

might have to do a little "floor board modifications" i wish i had done it to my support that runs over the exhuast about a foot past where the header ends, but i'm not taking those duals off w/out a gun to my head.

patience my son, patience. y-pipes and stuff are always going to give you a hard time, too many bends and such that might not match up exactly, and might not slide together well.

that is unless you have a kooks y, that was the easiest install ever
