I Purchased a full cat back skunk2 exhaust system for my 2000 civic se, I have a d16y7 1.6L engine.

I tried installing the exhaust system and ran into a little problem. It was my first time installing an after market exhaust system so I'm probably just dumb and missing something here.

My buddy says I need a test pipe to stick in there,

The pictures show where the mid pipe would hang if installed and there's a gap to the down pipe and header about(1.3 feet) that you see in the pics

I just wanted to get your opinions on what I need to do.

If there's any questions about the car lmk id be happy to answer

Thanks for the help.

Yea we already went over this in a second thread he started. The cat is on the manifold on his car, so he needs a test pipe there unless he wants to put a cat there and swap the manifold for a header.
