Make sure you use a fresh crush gasket. If the nuts on the studs bottom out before the exhaust seats on the gasket, you'll need some kind of spacer (like the two half collar pieces). Also be aware, that the muffler probably won't bolt up to the original mounts. You may have to fabricate a  piece of bar stock and attach it to the shock mount. You may also have to play with the angle to make the seating on the gasket flush. Remove that ugly rusty heat shield to make it easier to work with. But since you said you ordered a new exhaust, none of this is really necessary.</p></blockquote><p></p>
