Is your exhaust setup OEM?
Yeah, they have that number right on the package, so I thought it would be a quick and easy job

My exhaust is oem except for the spring joint right after the cat that was welded together by the PO. But that shouldn't affect this I wouldn't think.

I was looking at the cat again and it almost looks like there is a sleeve from the old gasket that maybe needs to come out first. But then I scraped it with a screwdriver and it seems to be steel, and maybe part of the flange. So I'm not sure what to do. Rusty exhaust systems are a pain!

Did they just slide in easily for you, or do they kinda get squished when you tighten the bolts down?
