so im kinda stuck here i need some feedback on this, im having problems on how to install the my cat converter flange to the header flange, it wont bolt up flat witout doing some cutting.
magnaflow cat converter. it has detachable flares with clamps on them, they wont fit over the header pipe, in other words its the same diameter as the header pipe. i didnt want to go to a muffler shop and waste $100 for them to weld it all for me. i cant drive the car to any shop anyways too.
should i try to cut off the header pipe to the flange so my cat converter flange will bolt flush? OR should i cut off the header pipe AND that one surface of the flange that sticks out? if i do that id figured it will bolt up flat. what do u guys think?
off topic but what is this metal bracket thing suppose to be?
ive never installed a complete exhaust before so anything would help thanks
