im in the middle of installing my drag 3 kit on my 99 SI and when i went to put the middle exhaust manifold bolt on there was no clearance to squeeze it in...my only idea is to go to the local dealership and pick up a stud and use a nut to hold it down so i dont end up with an exhaust leak


another problem i have is that the downpipe doenst line up perfect for my exhaust..my only idea is to tell the muffler shop to make it work

 

I could be wrong but I think you answered your own questions.
