Is it just me or do those appear to rely on the existence of the factory precats to be installed? There doesn't seem to be nearly enough length in the runners and Y-Pipe to be a complete system.

They look like the should reach. Non-equal length y-pipe though...not a big fan of that sound that would produce.

That looks right. If they were relying on the factory pre-cat, the longer run of pipe that goes to the left bank would not curve upward.

It would look like this:

No they're not designed to use the OEM Precats, They're shorty headers and if they did intend to include the precats there would be 4 three bolt gaskets not just 2! It's the same design as those cheap 4th Gen Header assemblies...

Fair points made. Just looked a little odd. I wonder who the test mule on this forum will be for these.
