remove the spare tire,the two brackets that get installed towards the rear need to be installed backwards,and a small bend applied to them,even then you need someone to hold the pipes in place when tightening to keep them positioned were you want them!hope that helps.hope your going to do this on a lift???

I was going to do in on my driveway... sounds like it may not be the best idea. Will the spare tire go back after the install?

This is definately not the first fitment issue I have heard with the Magnaflow kits. I run a different manufacturer exclusively. I hope future customers stumble upon this, and other fitment issue threads like it.

Speaking of Magnaflow and fitment problems, I just ordered the magnaflow part #16616, wich is the dual exhaust that exits in front of the passenger rear tire, has anyone heard of any types of problems or even anything good about it?
