Think about this some more..

You'll see why you only need one gasket. You have three holes on your pipe.. one gasket.. two crush rings

spray all the bolts with PB blaster a few days before and again as your removing them. Makes life easier

I also remember having to use a crows foot wrench/socket on one of the nuts on the rear exhaust manifold to y pipe flange

^ would be best to ask Cmax because i cant remember, he set up the original group deal with me and James who were to first to install them

actually in that case it probably fits VE because James only has VE 3rd gens but i would still ask Cmax

I believe BRM used to, but I don't see the 3rd gen listed anymore. I'd drop em and e-mail and inquire about it.

I have a warpspeed catback with a 20" magnaflow resonator and a 5th gen muffler. Thats what 505max had on his 3rd gen for a muffler.

I pieced my new exhaust together this time, last time I used a CustomMaxima catback for a 4thgen, Magnaflow high flow cat and new y-pipe.
Anyway, 2 exhaust manifold studs broke when my front motor mount failed. This happened about a year after I had did up the exhaust mentioned. I was pissed off at first but I turned my anger into motivation for re-doing my exhaust more like the way I wanted in the first place. Being that there wasn't much options when I first had the money to do my exhaust I went with the CustomMaxima cat back...mistake. The muffler was kinda ricey looking even though it sounded alright. 6 more exhaust manifold studs broke upon removal and I had to use an angled drill to get them out. I dropped the crossmember, removed the TB,a/c compressor, alternator and some emissions stuff to get at the studs. I used new Nissan brand studs/nuts to hang the OBX SS 2.5' inch headers/front pipe. I re-used my Magnaflow highflow catalytic converter since it's less than 2 years old and is in good shape. I used a Magnaflow resonator with SS resonator piping and some custom 2.5' inch piping to my new Megan 2.5' inlet 3.0' dual outlet muffler. I had to weld in a new resonator elbow hanger bracket right after the resonator because the oem bracket was totally shot. I also welded in a better threaded inlet for the o2 sensor because it didn't have many threads to screw the o2 sensor into. I'm going to post some pics after I replace the fuel injector hareness connectors, the boots are dry rotted and causing issues with current flow.

BRM exhaust did/does. He told me about 6 months ago that he had never sold a 3rd gen system so that may be why it's not listed anymore. Betcha he could still do one though, check with them and see
