That piece goes in the part of the pipe that comes in two seperate pieces. If I had a picture or could photoshop one I could show you alot better. Sorry man

what happens if it is too tight to put that piece in? Do you think that it would leak?

It goes into either the passenger side inlet or driver's--I can't remember--but I believe it's the driver's. You should be able to tell when you start bolting it up. It slides into the piece that will be bolted up to your exhaust manifold.

If I remember, there's a gasket on the passenger side, but on the driver's side, the exhaust manifold sits down into the inlet of the X pipe. That's where that little sleeve comes in.

It's funny how UPR doesn't provide any instuctions for it.

yeah it is the drivers side where the manifold meets the pipe from what i can tell. I just wasnt for sure. If anyone is 100% sure chime in please!

I didnt get a "sleeve" with mine, and I have not put it in yet. What am I missing???

That's where it goes. I'm 100% sure now, because when I got my UPR X, I wasn't sure either, so I had to ask around myself. That sleeve acts sort of like an adapter. If you notice, the diameter of your exhaust manifold is smaller than the opening for the X. The sleeve helps insure a tight fit.

Sleeve is not needed for a 96-98 if they sent you the right one which should be in 2 pieces and comes with 6 bolts.

It looks like it would leak there so it had me confused too. but it bolts right up and no leaks!
