my friend just bought a 2000gt a few weeks ago and the first thing we
decided to do was install bassani midlength headers and catalytic x-pipe. We spent all day today installing the headers which was a pain in the @$$ but that was expected. We get the headers done and when we start to install the x pipe we realize that the converters are welded to pipes that are designed to be bolted up to the stock manifolds. The x pipe kit came with two extensions that will bolt up to the new headers. We are assuming that your supposed to cut the pipes off of the converters and weld these extensions to them so they will bolt up to the headers. The part number on the x pipe kit matches the number in the instructions for the headers so it's the right kit. Has anybody else ran into this problem and what did you end up doing? We both agree that this is some serious bs to have to cut up a brand new exhaust system so it will fit on the car it was made for. any help is much appreciated.
