Be sure to hold the pipe eye-straight with the other pipes and hold it there while tightening down the bolts. The first time I did mine I just put it up there and tightened it up thinking the "flange" connection is automatically aligned, wrong. I had an exhaust leak on the bottom of one of the connection because the exhaust naturally wants to "sag" I replaced the entire cat-> back exhaust with the "Starla" line from Eeuroparts and it fit perfect. Be sure NOT to reuse bolts and exhsut hangers, they are cheap but expensive when they break.
