As the title says I've run into a little problem installing my new exhaust. Header mounted up fine, after grinding off a little on the tranny brace as instructed by John.

But I'm having a hard time getting the axle back and the B-pipe joined together,so for those of you familiar with this exhaust; is there an easy way to get these two pipes to slip together?
I gave up trying today but will continue tomorrow with the help of a friend, think it will go better with some helping hands, and then some

 

It takes a little pushing to get the slip fit together, I twisted it left and right as I was pushing in, a little lube always comes in handy trying to make things fit.

 

Yep, that's what i had in mind too, but it's kinda hard with only two hands when lying on the garage floor to get this done, I will try again tomorrow with lube and two extra hands.

Running open header is LOUD, but in a strange way cool too

 

Slide the axle back over the rear LCA and get the slip joint lined up. Just like Austin said, twist the muffler back and forth and that will work axle back into the slip joint. Open header is ridiculously loud. Rode in Ken's (Black R) car open header and ear plugs are a must!

j/k, How much did the hytech system cost you?

 

2100 $ for a complete system( header and exhaust with cat).
Plus 200$ in shipping which is not to bad considering it's a long way from California to Norway.
Everything is sorted now, had to make some "adjustments" to the heatshield where the B-pipe bends as it was touching in a few places, making some annoying sounds. It's just my butt dyno but i swear I can feel a nice power-gain, especially when VTEC hits in 3rd, or 4th. .
Now I just have to burn it in and get rid of that funky smell.
