I am not a master mechanic either and I got a little frustrated too when installing mine. My best advice is take your time and keep everything loose, including the muffler. You have the cat delete pipes and the TS muffler, correct? If so, it will all fit. One question, on your cat bypass pipes, you don't have two identical ones do you? I seem to remember a while back, someone got shipped two of the same pipes, not a left and right. Double check that.

Yes I have those items and no the test pipes are a left and a right one. I'm going to take another whack at it tomorrow. Thanks Bruce I will continue to fight on. I know it must go together, just going to have to give it another shot.

Victory Bruce, but it did not fit as ordered. Ended up cutting 2 1/2" from left side test pipe and 3 3/8" from right side test pipe. Fit perfect now. Sound is really great, even at low rpm it sounds fantastic. I have heard that many say the sound only improves, well I can't imagine it sounding any better than it does now, but I'll welcome any additional improvements. Actually the sound is great at all rpm ranges and it has a nice burble sound when backing off the go-go pedal. I couldn't be happier and knowing I don't have to be upside down under the car for a while makes my neck happier too.
