Having a bit of trouble fitting these headers well right angle pipe..
Headers went on fine,5 into 1 collector went on fine, but the right angle 3" pipe that conects to the cat does not line up..The mount is about 1.5" low to go in the hanger also only just misses frame by .5".
Colector seems to angle down rather than straight out..

when Phil fitted his Borla I was there as a extra pair of hands, he had to adjust about 3 of the hangers to get them to line up correctly, heated with the torch and re-bent to the correct angle, guess they still haven't improved their production techniques :(

I'd leave the front mounts off, they are only really needed when an exhaust with flexy is fitted. If you fit them to the solid headers the mounts will stress things by trying to prevent the motor from rocking on its mounts. And Skunk doesnt need front mounts so it must be ok :)
