I'll sell you my mid pipe for $100 already has a resonator and its all brand new.
you just need a gasket I hear turbo xs sells em for cheap and you need to cut the flange holes.
I just don't want to go through the hassle.
I've taken off my mid pipe 4 times already and I'm not taking it off again until I have a mid pipe with longer resonator or maybe a hi flow and a 2nd 02 bung.
ahahahhahahahahha no.....

shady, my midpipe is using the actual holes in the flange, im not use the "custom" holes the previous owner had...my turboxs is bolted right up the stock exhaust, if his RB exhaust is bolted up the stock cat, then the holes are the same and should bolt right up

yeah got in on and it sounds amazing, i'm never gonna put the stock one back on!
however, when me and blamerobb were installing it, we couldnt get the spring loaded bolts back on, they were serioulsy like 1mm short and the thread wouldnt catch..
is it bad if i just have regular bolts holding connecting it to the cat pip?

Yes, the springs are there for a reason. You need to allow for flexing...
Reinstall and have a friend push the exhaust while you attach the midpipe...
Disconnect the midpipe from the header so you get some wiggle room...

All I know is I put mine in and the holes were off by 1/4 inch on either side. and the hks lines up perfectly with the stock cat. so whoever gets mine needs to cut the flange or get it cut and re-welded at a shop.
thats retarded y would they sell something that has a crappy fitment??

but to compensate for the stupidity they made the flange on the cat back side able to spin so it lines up alright. So if you have a turbo xs cat back system your flange moves and that's why.
