Yes, another x-pipe question.

I'm having a hell of a time trying to line up the passenger side header studs with the magnaflow x-pipe. Seems the pipe gets stuck on the side of the car where the K-member bolts up & won't budge to line up with the bottom bolt on the header. If I maneuver the pipe to look like it will line up, the pipe is stuck & I can't get it to go forward enough to connect with the header. Is there any tricks to getting this thing to line up on the passenger side?

First of all are you bolting the Mid pipe up to the headers first??? because if you have it to the catback first and are then trying to match it up to the headers that could be difficult.....

I always put it on the headers first and then attach the catback...never had any major problems with fitment.....done it about 3 or 4 times...

Nevermind... it just hooked up.

I connected the driver's side first & then the passenger side just popped right in... no problem.
