Alright. Thanks for that info. I'll have to look for that when I get mine. Hopefully nothing is too bad since this would be my first exhaust install and I'm hoping for minimal problems.

one more thing i had to do since i was doing by myself, after everything was bolted up i put a jack under the h-pipe and lifted it up higher then tightened bolts up more,also make sure you get a saw-all and some metal blades because the old exhaust never comes off easy

Ok thanks. Yeh I have access to some pretty good tools and a car lift which I think will make it easier. Which is one if the reasons why I am going totry and do it by myself.

Do you know if it would be worth it to pay the money and get one ofthe tunes updated for the cat back?
I really don't think you'll need a updated tune for the cat back.

I did it simply because it lined up better, and was easier to torque down.

When you get it, make sure all the clamps are in the box. I was missing three clamps when I got mine.

Thanks for the info. If anyone can. Check out my post about the SSS adrenaline. Ran into a little problem while trying to get the terminator

i did that because there are no hangers close to the mufflers so when i was all done it hung down by the h-pipe, so i loosened it up jacked it up and retightened,if you had two people then just have somone hold it up by the axle and then tighten
