And FYI, the downpipe is not just rubbing my lower tie bar. it is pressing down hard! I might need to get lower tie bar spacers. I think I can make it fit it better with that spacers.

yeah definitely keep us posted on this...i have the dp and it fits fine and all but, like i said before, i have rattling issues when im at WOT...its kinda a pain in the ***...well not kinda, it is. i was just going to thermo wrap it but if we are able to swap with a new one, then i will wait on that. thanks zeus.

Do you have any pictures of if bolted up? Did you use any nuts behind? I was trying to use the stock spring bolts but they will not catch.
