Ok just wanted to clarify really quick so I can save some money on my exhaust work, but does anyone know if the evo 8 downpipe will bolt straight up to the stock brackets to connect the exhaust? Or do I need to cut off the brackets and weld a flange on it and just connect it together?

by bracket I mean when you look under the car you have your cat, then your downpipe, and then you have two brackets connecting together, then you cat, and then back to your exhaust?

 

evo downpipes are a direct swap.
