thats my pipe you brought from me.
If you need help installing it let me know. I took that thing off my car many times and 96-98 do fit on the 99+ gt's. You need a o2 extension for 99+ gts i think though, which i didnt on my car.
the cone thing wasn't included when i brought the pipe used also, but i also had problems with it leaking which was solved with a gasket. If its your first midpipe install your most likely going to have problems getting it to seal. The cone thing is not required so you dont need.
Some people do have problems with midpipes sealing because of the studs, but i didnt on my car. Im not sure what to say about the studs. I had many midpipes on my car with no problems installed by me:
that o/r prochamber
mac catted H
and my current o/r h.
good luck
Edit: i see your problem is with the drivers side. Sorry, had to re-read the thread. I didnt have any major problems with the drivers side. If you have the pipe angled wrong it will not seal at all, but thats the case with any midpipe. But it seems it might be the studs as other people having that problem on the local chicago forum you posted on. Well, keep the thread updated.
Itll all be worth it in the end. The o/r prochamber sounds so exotic with flowmasters! You'll have the best sounding car in your whole neighborhood.
