added pics... finally. My longtubes didn't bolt completely correctly to my FI exhaust either, so I'm not sure if its my exhaust that's the problem or my headers / cats. When I say "didn't bolt correctly" I'm talking about a 1mm or 2mm gasket leak at the drivers side connection. The passenger side worked fine. I was able to completely secure them and tie them down, and I think if i would have figured out a better gasket setup, it would have been fine, but I got lazy. These are definitely for someone who's willing to work with them in case they don't directly bolt on. I can't guarantee they will work with different setups. That's why they are cheaper than most HFC's.
Hope that helps. Like I said, my LTH leaked in the same spot, so for all I know these could fit fine.
