Default KOOKS install help!!

So I'm in the middle of installing my headers and it seems I either have the wrong x pipe or the wrong headers. The box says 6601-ex (maybe old pn) but was shipped as 21602400 from retailer, and the x pipe I have is 21603200, does anyone know if Kooks changed fitment in the process of switching part numbers. TIA


Car is 2008 cpe 6m

I would call the place where you purchased the headers and confirm that you have the correct system.

Apparently it's the common fitment issue from header to x pipe. Any advice

I just loosened everything, snugged it up a lil more, then tightened everything. I must say the fit isn't perfect. but hopefully no leaks.
