There may be a gasket that needs replaced. I'm not 100% sure, though. Did you try to run a search of the forum?

u should have gotten gaskets and bolts needed for install! Shouldn't need anything else! Enjoy!

Should be pretty quick for an experienced installer with the right tools and lift. Most of the time gaskets can be reused as they really take a long time to deteriorate. I did this in my garage with a jack and ramps in a few hours. If I had a lift I could have done it a lot faster as most of my problems were due to lack of leverage because space was quite small.

Should be done in 2 hours.

+1. My guy put new tires on, changed oil, and installed downpipes all in under 3 hours.

I don't know how close you are to Rochester, but The Little Speed Shop is where I went.

what about anywhere in cuse?

catless pipes aren't smog legal... so most shops will shoot you down. Cantech in north syracuse does lots of high end cars, if you tell them you are getting your car track ready and taking it off the road that may solve some problems...
