have you had the problem during installation? Like the engine mount getting in the way?

What is the exact model of your car and how did the installation go. Did it fit right in or was some modding needed? PLEASE, let us know!

yea there was some modding, I had to cut part of the motor mount off the front mount to clear the header, and grind down some of the frame for clearance. now i got to send back the hi-flo cat for a replacement because the one they shipped me had a bent flange[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-mad.gif[/IMG]

I had to do some cutting, but it was well worth it. i dont think you are leaking where the cat meets the header. You are leaking where the 4 meet to 1 there is some shady welding that went on there. i got mine fixed.
