The RCMP wont bother me. It will just would like a Ricer exhaust haha. Plus they are pretty lax here since we have 2yr mvi's (used to be 1yr till last year, Still do on trailers)

Its about inline with doors. The O2s are closer to the engine and they shouldnt give you an issue. The MBRP will connect from the stock pipe. If you need anything, let me know. Mine, although a V8 was pretty simple to install besides the end tail pipe support connections, but I fixed that and told MBRP about it. I received some free apparel for it It shouldnt be much different though
The 3.7L and 4.7L Exhaust are the same. (from the Y back) Atleast ive gotten that since every one I looked at said 3.7L/4.7L

New Exhaust Arrived on Monday, Out of town untill tomorrow night. So far ive removed only the Tailpipe (Muffler Back) last week, Came out easy enough. Bolts at the Y pipe will be my issue.

Just dont drive around too much with the y-pipe removed and your windows rolled up. You'll die.

Can't wait to hear this in a v6. Should sound nice. There was a guy on here with flowmaster super 10s on his v6, it sounded really good for a v6 actually.

It still has the pipe and muffler, I removed the Tail after the muffler.
I also had a work van so it was sitting at work untill a hour ago.
Check the exhaust, it changes it from a 2.5" at the Y to 3", Then 3" in/out.
Comes with all the Clamps required, and a Chrome Tip. (Which is going to be a PITA to get on, since its almost the same diameter as the pipe were it connects.)

Got my old exhaust off now, Wasnt to hard. Used a dremel to cut the clamp at the Y pipe (since it was installed bolt up) split it apart, then gently and slowly pried the 2 pipes apart.
Now ive run into the issue of MBRP having a male end on there pipe when the Y pipe is male (Old resonator pipe was female) so it doesnt fit together. Anyone know how a quick fit for it?

Whatever you do, don't buttclamp with a band clamp. It will never hold. Your local parts store should have a 2.5" ID butt connector. I used one just the other day on a friends car that I got from O'Reilly's. Then a couple of these should finish the job, from Summit Racing

WLK-33226 2.5" preformed lap joint band clamps. from summit

or Dynomax 33226 from Amazon, same exact part.

They are the clamps that should come with the kit.
