everything went on perfectly fine... yours disagree with you some? btw, i have no lift so i didn't get to install it myself :P
my mechanic said it was pretty straightforward. only thing we found was the stock exhaust was mounted on my transmission... and we were not aware of it, but i had a broken tranny mount. when he pulled the old pieces off and pulled it out of the garage, the tranny jumped and whacked the underbody of the car. but other than that oh, and he installed some form of mounting against the tranny again to prevent the intermediate pipe from flexing. apparently the broken tranny mount also caused my old intermediate to flex like a beer can and crack... strange thing was it didn't sound any louder, and it didn't feel any different that way either. or maybe it was broken the whole time and i didn't even know it. eh. but, those were the only "complications".
