Both those have SORRY azz flex sections. Way too small.

Check the inside of the flex Larry and see if it's mesh or accordian style?

Looks like it should fit, right?

looks wise, its almost a perfect fit (visual inspection). Its at most an inch or two off from the stillen in certain areas.

the inside of the flex is an black accordian style thingamabob. The flex section is STIFF has hell, unlike the cattman y-pipe that I had (8 in flex section)

I'm fairly sure its shorter than stock. I can always replace the flex section with a bigger one later on.

All I got left now is to test the TS ecu, purchase a b-pipe, install headers and recolate the o2's and i'll be officially broke. No more modding for at least 6 months.
