I can probably do that if someone will host the video clip....
Oh one more thing....is there a rule-of-thumb when tightening exhaust clamps? Since this y-pipe is not welded together I am going to use clamps...obviously I don't want to over tighten them resulting in obstructed flow...so how do you know when they are tight enough?

One more thing.....am I going to need any replacement gaskets when I am installing this new pipe? It looks like there is a gasket between the cat and the resonator and since my y-pipe is catless it will be bolting up to the resonator....I just don't want to find out that I need a gasket half way into this project tonight

Is that a dealer only item or can I pick that up at any auto store? BTW do I just need a gasket for the end that attaches to the resonator? It appears that the other ends of the y-pipe that bolt to the headers are a different type of connection that doesn't require a gasket...is that correct?

Install went flawless...sounds pretty good although I still need to replace the stock resonator and mufflers, but that will be later down the road.

Hey Stazi, just wondering if you should still get 2.23" if your exhaust is 2.5" (even tho the main cat pipe is 2.25")
Just wondering
