I have a 98 with BBK longtubes, BBK o/r H, and flowmaster dumps. I previously had a BBK X on it but I like the sound of the H better so I was gonna switch it out.
I've gotten everything in place, but where the H pipe and the cat back come together there is a huge gap. Both sides are flanged in, instead of one side being flared out (like where the longtubes and H pipe come together.)
Is this normal or maybe do I have the wrong catback on it? I bought it with the afore mentioned set up. I could hear an exhaust leak before I started switching out the mid pipe and once I got everything off, I could tell that the X didn't mate up to the catback properly either.
Is there a trick to getting a good seal or do I have to get it welded? I was wanting to avoid welding because I eventually want to switch to a proper catback with the pipes coming out the back.
