   will this fit direct, because i know that pattern parts can sometimes be a bit dodge, but do kwik fit not use them? and are they hard to fit because cba sending to a garage, would rather do it myself?

   As i found out gasket sealent is a must, this may or may not help but all the car programmes on tele like wheeler dealers use remanufactured parts

   Easy to fit get the car up on some ramp's.
   You could take all the exhuast off the car fit it all together then put it on that way would fit easy.

   actually when i think about it, it would seem logical to take exhaust off, but theres only me so it would flop about would it not?

   Lol about the slabs
   Take off from the manifold, there are rubber bungs holding the center section and the back box on the car so undo from bottom of manifold take of rubber bungs and its off

    im certain its the first one, ib bought it anyway, but cuz mines is an x reg furio, its hard to work if its 96-00, or 00-03
    
    i know furios are mk2s but all the exhausts that had 00-03 had not middle boxes or cats

    Stupid if you ask me, should be about safety and if your car works properly.
    Even if you have a 4-2-1 and pass the emissions its still a fail. f*** the goverment
