Ugly a$$ welds. I would have thought they would have used TIG instead of stick (although the the flange to pipe is TIG) better penetration and a lot cleaner looking. I guess its a cost saving thing; oh well, as long as it stays in one piece. BTW, does anybody know how to install this thing? Is there a mechanic in the house? ;-)

Default you're going to have to do something about the mounting ends that slip into the red bushings

for the downpipe . . .

The milltek ends do not match the factory ends and will cause rattling &amp; tapping noises.

Default Thanks Crew, I'll pass that on to the tech that's going to install it...

Any info/tip on how to install will be helpful and appreciated. I would like to give them the impression I know what I'm talking about.

Default it's in a thread on fourtitude. Petethegreat mentioned that he slipped additional rubber spacers

on the prongs to take up for all the extra space they leave.
