I'm sure these questions have been asked a million times, I have been reading a ton of posts and stuff on the internet but I'm having a hard time finding the products and have confused myself.
In a few months I will be tackling my exhaust, I figure I'll do a k-member at the same time to make install easier and really just to free up some room. It's the exhaust that has me tweaked.
I want to avoid LT, just because of the hassle if I ever need to drop the tranny and fitment/clearance issues. I was thinking mid-length Bassani but I can't for the life of me figure out the x-pipe. Everything I read says the Bassani 5 piece off road x pipe will work, I suppose that's why they come with 5 pieces. But the pics look like the shorter pipes don't have a flange. Am I just seeing that wrong and as long as I get the 5 piece I will be good to go?
Also with the mid-length, do I need to assemble them or are they direct bolt on? I keep reading that you install one tube at a time then add the collector? The instructions seem to just show you sliding the collector on, is it then welded?
Basically I'm looking for a "dumb guy" break down. The last install I went with was my old 88 and that was just shorties and a x-pipe, and dumped mufflers. It was all pretty much plug and play except welding on the mufflers. So trying to wrap my head around this setup is making my head spin. I keep thinking it shouldn't be this confusing and I'm probably over thinking the whole thing.
