I may not be the best source for installation tips, because I "cheated". I had the engine out for the other mods, put the headers on and spark plugs in, then reinstalled the engine. So, installation the "normal" way, with that being all you're doing - I'm not much help.
One thing I did do, after the engine was in, was to do a fit check of the y-pipe, then opened up the collector ball flange to the ID of the y-pipe down pipes, centered where they connected. This, in my opinion, gives a better flow path. Hooker said they have a small opening in the ball flange "to insure a good seal". I haven't had sealing problems.
Other than that, get a high-flow, direct-fit '86-'90 TPI cat & cat-back to complete the system.
