If its the magnaflow kit, it comes w/ a 4in downpipe which has been known to be pretty tough to install. Some people have had to flatten a section of the pipe or pound the firewall for clearance. Just a little heads up

I wouldn't flatten the pipe, that defeats the purpose of going wtih the 4". I would just get a 3.5" Dp and be done with it or flatten the firewall...
