I own them now. On car in a few days I hope. I am tired of the neighbors dirty looks! LOL
Time to open the box and see if I can tell which end goes to the Header collector.

Never installed that style, but I'd guess which ever end has the larger opening (less restriction) would go toward the engine. Just my guess.

They are in, I am VERY pleased, no longer a cop magnet from sound.
BUT, the passenger side rattled on day one, then we spent the day in it yesterday, not a rattle one!
This morning took a ride (and I am never easy on the car) and it rattled for like 20 seconds after pulling out of the garage, then no more.
So I will see if an adjustment is needed or maybe a tack weld in it.
Time will tell.
Thank you all for the wisdom.
Bryan

Right pipe rattles? Ideas? I hate to spot/tac weld it and really discolor my pipe.
Thanks in advance.
