Default Mid pipe help

Afternoon fellas,

Will this Billy Boat mid pipe be a direct fit with the current system or will I have to cut and weld it on? Thanks in advance.

You will have to measure and cut off your original H pipe and slide on your new X pipe with clamps.

You already have an X-pipe up stream with the mid-pipe that is connecting to your headers.

What are you trying to achieve? Not much point in adding a second x-pipe.

The Billy Boat bullet isn't taking to that mid pipe too well so I want get put the BB mid on instead. I guess I'll have to cut and weld then.

If I cut after the cats wouldn't it be too short?

Do you have headers on your car now or is it stock? If those are your actual pics it looks like it's not stock so no need to cut off your original H-pipe.

What do you mean by "not taking it too well" on the X-pipe already installed?
