Message	drill out the holes on the downpipes a bit and it's still not a clean fit - will need to make them larger or slot them. I don't see how stock would be any better. 3" SZ test pipes to 3" B&B x pipe is a mess the stock sized bolts fit like \ / and wont allow the flanges to seal well. Currently I have narrower hardware in there but will need to revisit that. The 3" B&B bolt spacing matches stock.
