lol sorry. hmm i had to cut off a corner so that it would fit aroud my alternator bracket and also i had to make the notches on the top bigger. im pretty sure its onlya problem with the one piece plates, so you shouldnt have a problem with the 2 piece sets

im pretty sure its teh gasket i used. it was a weird metal one, i dont think it sealed right. what are the dangers of an exhaust leak though, is it safe to drive and tune?

exhaust leak = backpressure = bad for turbos

yea my dad always seems to pwn me left and right... like i'll be sitting under my car for like an hour trying to figure something out and he'll walk outside and be like "you need to do this and then this and here use this tool that i hid somewhere in the basement" and i just look at him and go *DOH!!!!" and then proceed to smack myself in the forehead, dad's generally have been around the block so i guess it just comes with the territory....? lol
