I've got BBK shorties and a MAC O/R H-Pipe installed and lined up fine. The problem is that the flow pipes are different and it says nowhere which one goes on which side. I have looked at pictures and think that I have it right but I can't get the cat back lined up perfectly for the life of me(Mac also) Help a newb at the 5.0 game out so I can finish up the conversion....

Thanks

Nikk

what are flow pipes? You list headers, an hpipe and a catback, what else do you need?

The flow pipes connect the H-pipe / X-pipe to the muffler. They are two different lengths.

You can work the problem backwards to figure them out.

1) take off your flow pipes, and cat back
2) hang your tail pipes
3) attach the mufflers to the tail pipes, and hangers
4) Use some jack stands to hold the mufflers up.
5) Then you can try fitting both of the flow pipes and it should be fairly clear about which one goes where..
