I've got my old exhaust off, my new Flowmaster 80 series CrossFlow and tail pipes ready to mount. I just can't get that damn pipe over the rear end, how do I do it?

I am guessing you dont have the car up high enough if it is a actual flowmaster kit.

You probably need access to a lift. I think thats why the 3" flowmaster systems have the I-pipe split before the axle...

I did it.. My arms feel like jello, but it's up. I cut it right after the 90* bend that goes over the rear end, and jointed it back in with a 2 1/4 to 2 1/4 adapter. It sounds pretty good for a V6.. But I've got to take off a tail pipe and cut it shorter.. At a later date ofcourse..
