Ed, try a trial fit first. Hopefully, the system will bolt up with no problems. If it does, it should be a minimal charge at an exhaust shop to hit that hole with a torch. If your system doesn't line up, schedule time at an exhaust shop and contact Performance Ford about a reimbursement for the charge. It only took about 45 minutes but they ended up replacing the flanges with sections of stainless steel pipe. They also added another hanger to take advantage of an unused rubber biskit installed at the factory next to the rear split. We figured I might as well take advantage of it.




Thanks for the tip. I think that is exactly what I am going to do. Try a trial fit this weekend and I already have a time set up on Wednesday just in case.
