Default TSP Header Install Help


Installing TSP headers and catted Pipe. Started at headers and all is good until I got to tailpipes. No chance I can get them in. Suggestions? I removed the rear muffler hanger but the muffler doesn't move enough to the rear to allow the pipes to join. Do I need to remove the header bolts to allow the whole assembly to move forward? Short of cutting some of the pipe ends, not sure what to do. TIA

. Looks like the midpipe is upside down.

I installed Kooks system and NPP recently. I had to leave everything from headers to end of mid pipe hanger just finger tight until all fits.
With mufflers to mid pipe, I did have to remove hangers at mufflers to get muffler pipe at correct angle to fit mid pipe.

Drop the rear sway bar to get more room to move that cans around.
