They do not fit, The Y pipe is resting right on the Cross member that the Torsion bars attach to, They are tight right against it. I cant rotat it because the Passenger side cat is hitting the floor board and the Dside is close but not hitting. Only thing I can figure out is to cut it and weld it. I can't leave them the way they are.

I do classic car restoration and we have a term for this: "FFF" which stands for "Fit, Form, Function".

Although I sometimes fit another F word in there as well. But yeah, if it don't fit, break out the saw and welder...

A little update I know when I Google stuff and post don't have updates it sucks.

Besides not being direct fit, I have had no issues, they seem to flow well and no codes, I have put about 300 Miles on them MPG went up 2 MPG also. I like them they seem well made just be prepared to do some cutting and welding, at least on my model truck.
