Did you finish your install? I think Summit flubbed mine. The drivers side pipe is perfect but the passenger side is about 3 inches too short and the smog tube is at the wrong angle. I have fought with it for 2 days. When I do get it all lined up my passenger side muffler is rubbing the rear seat floor pan and the drive shaft. My tailpipes are also uneven (one sticking out farther than the other). I think I'm gonna send it back and get a BBK H.
I'm gonna take it out and lay it side by side with the stocker and see what's up today.

yea black ponies listen.......i had a problem with my smog tube as well....since ford puts on a ****ty clamp to hold the stock smog tube from the h-pipe to the tube that goes to the air pump, it crimped the tube connected to the car.......so i couldnt get the air tube on the o/r pipe all the way in, therefore the headers studs wouldnt match up......so i cut about 3/4 in maybe 1 in TOPS off of the smog tube on the h-pipe.....then everythin fit up PERFECTLY!!!!!....good luck.....lemme kno if u need any more help.....

I got it bolted up. I left the smog tube completely off. It is still about 2 in too short on the passenger side. It fits like crap and my passenger side tail pipe is shorter and higher than the driver's side. I took it off and laid it beside the factory set up. You can see that the passenger side is a little shorter. I think they just messed up making it. I'm gonna call them and send it back and get one with a welded mid pipe like a BBK or a MAC. My car is completely stock so I don't think it is anything but a machining mistake by Summit's supplier.

black ponies- i used black rubber hose to make my EGR tube fit, just plain black hose and 2 hose clamps, (wont melt, very little heat )
are you trying to do it by yourself? It is a lot easier w/ 2 people to angle and install
i think one side is suppesed to be shorter.... mine is

One side is shorter, just too much shorter. I had them completely bolted up to the factory headers and cat-back and just had the smog tube hanging so that I made sure it did not have anything to do with it. I had all hardware finger tight. It just does not fit right. Like I said, the passenger side muffler is pulled up against the rear floor pan and when I pull the pipes together to make the H pipe connection the same muffler hits the driveshaft. Anybody like the BBK setup?
Oh yeah, and when I said it was shorter earler, I meant that the passenger side summit pipe was a little shorter than the passenger side factory pipe. You can see the difference. The driver's side looks to be the same length as the factory driver's side.
