ANOTHER as&m install? sorry

Ok, please don't laugh. I was bored today so I took the headers out of the box and decided to loosely assemble them in my living room. This 3 piece Y pipe doesn't seem to be right. The drivers side gets the long piece obviously. On what side does the O2 hole go on the passenger side? I tried it every way possible and there doesn't seem to be a way for the pipes to line up next to each other so they can slide into the collector. My car is in storage so I can't go look at it to get an idea what is going on. I looked at the AS&M website, and it looks like their passenger Y pipe piece is longer than mine, but the pic isn't real clear and it's hard to tell. Any help would be apreciated, as I don't plan on installing these until the spring and I would like to make sure I have all the right parts now. Thanks!

The passenger side o2 will point towards the middle of the car and up a little. The passenger side y-pipe tube is about 2 feet long, with a curve near the o2 bung. This curve points up to the header collector.

I wouldnt get the exhaust cutout. They are way to loud. I have one on my car right now that Im about to replace with the dynomax bullet! With my current setup, I have 3'' cat back with the cutout where the cat used to be and the 3'' flowmaster in the rear. Im about to put the bullet where the cutout is so my whole exhaust system will end underneath the passenger seat instead of running out the rear.

At first I liked the cutout, but it gets really annoying. Too much noise inside the cabin. Plus everytime I pass a cop I have to creep by and lay off the gas peddle.

Anyways, do what you want and Im sure theres plenty of people that love the cutout, but with headers, no cats, and a catback system its way to loud, especially inside the car!!! JMHO
