Default headers and x-pipe question

I purchased a used set of TPIS headers and a Magnaflow x-pipe and wanted to know if the x-pipe connects directly to the headers or does it fall short and I'll need some pipe extensions.

Any comments or comments with pics would be VERY helpful !

Thanks in advance guys.

does the x-pipe have a flange to bolt up to the headers?

I have this same exact question as well.I have a magnaflow system w/ the magnaflow x-pipe and am wondering which headers would fit.

I DO NOT want shorty headers.

put some high flow cats in there. That is why there is the difference or space.

the magnaflow x-pipe unless it's just the pipe itself with the proper outlet wont just slip over the headers

you need to have the mid-pipe all welded up and set to proper length before you install it .. i installed my headers first measured the length and had a welder make up a mid-pipe with a dr. gas x-pipe .. also you want the x-pipe as close to the headers as possible, it'll help.

best of luck.
