 Hello DAKsters & Rich,

 Sorry to hear you are having problems with your JBA pipe, mine fit
great. I was a little concerned at first, as Joe @ JBA e-mailed me
saying they had some fitment complaints. For this reason, I took it to
a muffler shop for installation (normally, I'd do it myself). The only
problem was one of the tube ends needed a tad more bell-mouthing for an
easier slip-fit.

  I guess that brings up the obvious: Are you sure it's for your truck?
Where did you get your crossover? Mine is an R/T (2 into 1) so yours
may be different, but I think it was 3 pieces total.

        Russ
