hey guys :

almost got this thing fully figured out - which is a big step for me, someone who doesn't do a whole lot under the hood, or know much about it.

my final question - the 4-2-1 header setup is on snug, but the new flexpipe keeps rattling loose where it connects to the exhaust. Do I loosen up where the header connects to the flexpipe, and tighten that more, then do the back part of the flexpipe? I'm going to replace all of those bolts just to make for damn sure everything is new and snug.

Your thoughs? Cheers!

use some anti-seeze, new bolts/nuts and some lock washers
