ok one more question. Are the y pipes for 95-98 max all the same regardless of fed spec or cali spec? The seller claims its cali spec but the picture of the pipe looks like fed-spec.

i think they are different.

I did about four Ypipe installs and haven't broken any manifold bolts or studs, they are fairly strong studs. I did partially strip a couple though and they still bolted up okay.
