The fit was very tight and on one side I had to use a tailpipe expander to get the pipes to fit and then had to cover the sidepipes with a towel and tapped the two pieces together with a rubber mallet.

Some guys just have the sidepipes welded onto the headers but I wanted to be able to separate them if the need ever arises. However, the fit is so tight and after some mileage is put on the car there will be carbon buildup that I think it will be an adventure trying to separate them.
