About to kill myself.....someone help

I can't get the pacesetter Y pipe to fit....I think it was supposed to be flared to slip fit with my cat-back. It's clamped on the collectors though. How loud is open headers? Am I gonna get pulled over? How much louder is it than a cutout? I had a cutout with dual cats, it wasn't that bad, but I dont know how loud this is going to be with no cats. I'm really ****ing pissed off, and my dad cant get the boots on the opti ends of the taylor OTVC wires.

open headers = stupid loud, but it will get you to an ehxuast shop

Taylor boots: Crimp the ends on ahead of time, spray WD-40 on them and twist them into the boots. Goes in somewhat easy that way.

I told you that Passenger side header went in too easy....

Good luck with the problem. Maybe loosening everything up and fitting everything and tightening down evenly will work.. Who knows

Ok Y pipe is on, everything is together, car runs.....but cat-back won't mate up to it. Gonna take it to a shop tomorrow, and have the cat-back welded to the Y pipe.

Don't they meet up somewhere in the driveshaft tunnel? This is not talking from experience, but don't you have to cut the i-pipe and weld them together or something?

How did those headers go in? What needs to be done to mout the Y to the catback? Does it line up and just the pipes need to be cut or does it need an S pipe or something? Sorry for all the questions, would just be some good info since there isnt much info about them yet. Your the guiney pig..
