Performance exhaust on.

I got the exhaust installed this weekend. It several attempts. The interior of the pipes and collector are ceramic coated so that made installation difficult. Basically what I found out (after a couple of helpful messages from Greg at FAT) is you assemble the system loosely together and then start mating up the flanges. The stub pipes were already installed so that was helpful. Also, you have to put the bolts in from the bottom but the nuts are those with a locking collar so that helped too. Most importantly though, is use some form of lubricant on the pipes into the collector. I know it's going to smoke up for a while but there's just too much resistance from the coating to twist and pull the pipes into position without some lubricant. I just used a bit of engine assemble lube. The muffler came with a nifty bracket to bolt to the tranny. I beat up the paint taking the stuff on and off but that's all just part of the learning process
