As I remember, there's a BIG flow arrow on the cat itself. I didn't see it at first, but it's there. Keep looking.

Besides all of that, one of the ends are almost 15 degrees off from the other ends header style clamp. So in a sense, if you try to put it, it will really only go one way.

No need to be concered, if it dont fit one way, try it the other, it will fit only one way.

Ah, I troubled with that a bit myself since there was no arrow on mine.

The answer, I believe, is that your RT cat has no air tube (which from the diagram appears to be a piece that sticks out off of the cat) thus you should set it up according to the without air tube directions.

Mine was 2k but should be the same - unless you have an air tube sticking out of it.

With your feet pointing toward the back of the car you should be able to read "Without air tube". Had to surf around the Random Technology web site for help.
