No, everyone uses their cojones, swivels, and extensions. Get all of those and you'll be good to go.

i have a upr o/r x pipe and have no problems with leaks where it bolts to the manifolds, but its leaking like crazy where it bolts to the factory pipes on the passenger side, i can see a gap between the metal, and i cant seem to get it out no matter what i do. im just gonna weld it up solid and be done with it.

BTW, from the mid pipe back, you can use Hi temp sealant, let it set up for a couple of hours and if it is just a small leak, it will fix it.

The Mustang Tuning, Pypes, UPR and VRS X pipes all need a metal sleeve inserted into the LH inlet at the Header on 99-04 cars. If missing, the pipe will not seal properly. Anyone who is having sealing problems should confirm the sleeve is installed.
