You know what would be nice is a post on how-to install these weapon R headers with pictures of all the issues as they come up. I know there is a header install how-to out there already, but to me it is incomplete with very few pictures and none showing the problems.
Can one of you guys installing these take some pictures for all of us? I have my own Weapon R set that has been sitting in my office for about a month or so now. I'll be doing my install when spring rolls around and was hoping to have an idea of what I was getting into before I actually did it. However if no one has the means of doing so I guess I can write up a How-To and take some pictures of everything when I do mine like I did with the trans upgrade.
Keep me posted guys.

I have a stock Y-pipe and Weapon-R's on my car. Any more confusion?

Yeah, even more confusion. 
Other have said Weapon R pipe is the only one that fit for them no matter how hard they tried to connect the stock pipe.
Did the design get changed maybe?

I'm glad to hear about this... I'll probly just match it up to whatever Y-pipe the original owner has going on. Then I can drive it to a shop and have them put the W-R Y-pipe and a high flow cat while they're at it.

Actually I had to use the stocker since the W-R Y-pipe has a 3-bolt flange on it, which would not mate up to the 2-bolt main cat flange. So Stazi optimized the stocker and put it back on. If there were fitment issues he never told me about them.
I'd still like to get the W-R y-pipe installed sometime, but there are other priorities right now ...

ok this is bullcrap..I got the weapons headers and the trubendz high flow cat (3-bolt) the cat was too short according the shop putting my headers on so he had add like 8 inches..I was like wtf! but pretty much he said my stock manifolds were destroyed and had soo much crap in it..he even changed all 4 of my O2 sensors..woo hoo!! picking it up tonight, i def forgot about the triangular gasket for the 3-bolt..should get that tommorow $$$$$$$$$$$
