borla exhaust installing question

I used to have the Borla adjustable catback on my '02 v6 bird.. but i changed it awhile ago. I installed the borla myself, but then had it taken off, and had a different system welded on

I'm planning to cut off the current system and put back on the borla but I'm confused about how to install it now. When I first installed it, no welding was involved.. where does the first piece of the I-pipe go... directly into the cat? or into the s-pipe piece that goes into the cat? I'm confused because it looks as if it will need to be welded even though it's a bolt on system

does anyone have any good instructions with pics, or the real instructions? the ones I found online were ****ty and vague.

thanks for the help

Having not ever installed an exhaust on a V6, I can only go on an educated guess, but I would imagine that since on a V8 car the I-pipe attaches to the Y-pipe, then the I-pipe on a V6 attaches to the S-pipe.
Sorry I can't offer more information, but I hope this helps.

no its goes like this from what I can see

Y-pipe, cat, s-pipe, i-pipe, muffler

I'm not sure if the s-pipe is stock since I didn't install it myself.

but either way, theres no way to put the borla i-pipe into it without welding it seems
