And the Saga Continues...the Muffler

[Kiloengineer]

I hear what people are saying about the stock exhaust not being great, but I just bought a stock exhaust from AB on sale, less than 200 bucks, installed it in about an hour. Everything fit fine, went together easy and now I am all back to stock. Looks and sounds good too. If it lasts 5-8 years I will be happy.

I bought the same system on sale at AB. It was en entire kit. Installed it yesterday afternoon. Anyone know if the flange on the front pipe that attaches to the manifold is supposed to sit flush with the manifold? Mine does not, and now I'm second guessing my handy work. Any advice before I rip out the front pipe and start over?

No does not sit flush and don't crank it hard all the way down as you'll flatten the pipe.

Agree the flange will not be flush, but should have the same gap all the way around the flange so there is equal pressure on the pipe flare.
