Search on here and you'll get a better picture to it's integration with the suspension. You may need a rear alignment as the difficulty you faced has to due with the rear wheel supporting suspension spreading out. Many here will use ratchet straps to pull the wheels together to help re-mount that plate. I installed the same secondary cat delete pipes but I didn't remove that plate. For transmission fluid change I drilled a whole in the plate to access the drain plug. I did not want to disturb the rear suspension
