WTF? i don't really know if mine is made that way or not, because i just have my O2 bungs blocked off cause my rears are turned off in my tune.
I think that is me your talking about. I finally bitched at pypes enough they sent me a new o/r h for free. havnt even taken it out of the box yet lol

The only thing that irritates me is iv been trying for month to get the bolt thread pattern for the bolts that connect the headers to midpipe.

I just put one on my mach. The mid section had to be welded to stop the leaking. It was pure hell mating it to the manifolds. The driver side still has a slight leak. The metal is good quality, but the craftmanship sux.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about. I have Pypes LT's, O/R H-pipe, and the violator cat back. It all fit great on my car. Granted the LT install is a pain in the a$$, but it all fit well.

Could be you are using all pypes exhaust. Maybe mixing brands of catback, midpipe, and headers leads to problems with it all fitting?

i have the LTs and h pipe, the LTs suck with the steering shaft, i had to dimple to primary to get it to stop rubbing, its good now, I have an annoying tick, cant tell if its an exhaust leak or not since ive always had an annoying tick with my engine, i just got it back from an accident and its more noticable

Polly motor mounts fix the steering shaft problem. Not sure why Pypes doesn't just move the primary a tad bit to fix the problem, but it says on there website somewhere for fitment with the LT's you need poly motor mounts.

Bingo. The Lts/midpipes are designed for eachother....you should keep them together.
