Thats a great link...thnx.
I was a little apprehensive to do this myself, but I think I can do it. I think I will use a porta power or something else to bend the seam (baseball bat). I cant' screw it up that bad I hope.

I posted a writeup with pics about 5 years ago. I would link it for you but I'm on my phone. Do a search for my handle and you should find it.

Got the downpipe in after several hours of cursing and a couple of beers...Took an hour to get the stock downpipe out....had to cut multiple times. The top didn't want to go down into position. Had to do quite alot of firewall masage. More cursing and beers and my wife helped talk it into position......haha....I sure hope I never have to do another one....it was a MotherF'er....thanks to my buddy that let me borrow his porta power after trying to bend the seam with a wooden baseball bat. The porta power is the way to go!!!

Had a buddy bring his over but we ended up not needing it. The only real PITA was getting the stock downpipe out.
