@Pat696, that may be a good option, but idk about affordability. The shop i took mine too charged $75/hour labor. So just to have a new flange put on i wound up paying $80.00. I'm just saying, it sounds like that route takes a LOT more work, and thus, a lot more cash to make it happen. After its all been said and done, i spent about $100 on my header, $150 on my midpipe, $100 on my catback, and $80 labor for the on the install and catback. So for under $500 i got the whole thing done. I did the header and midpipe first and drove for about a month on the stock catback and was fine.
