I paid $80 for them to fit my x-pipe, got a one year warranty against leaks, and they forgot to put in hangers so when I brought it back they installed them for free.

im can do this no problem, its when i put it on and it leaks too bad and i cant fix it and it needs to be bend or tweaked to fit right....

im going to try and do it, hope for the best and IF it does leak hope its not THAT bad then i can bring it to a shop after

When I installed my offroad Xpipe, I used a bead of high temp silicone gasket material and I haven't had any leaks so far.

yea I'm going to pick up a donut gasket for the drivers side and I'll have the passenger side gasket, so I have hopes it will be fine.

if the drivers side is off so much that a donut gasket couldn't fill the space, something has to be way off ahaha. and I did not realize until last night when I got the x pipe that the passenger seems to be just a flat gasket. ( I assumed both were ball and socket flanges)
