Default Yep. I did it. It's a major, major PITA though!

The brace bolts right on to the TB <--easy part. I had trouble getting everything perfectly aligned. When the TBB was perfect on the TB then the pipes wouldn't be snug in the TBB. Back and forth, lots of curse words. I think I used the stock clamps because the AMS clamps were too bulky. Be SURE to loosen the bi-pipe bolts as recommended by the FAQ or you WILL break them. After the TBB was snug and secure I had a hell of a time getting the Bi-pipe bolts back in though. Try loosening them first. If that doesn't work remove them for more play.

I wouldn't trust somebody else to do this for me though. I wanted everything perfect. It's a big enough PITA that I think a so-so mechanic would have slacked and not fully seated the TB and pipes into the TBB.

Hopefully you'll have better luck than me. Shoot me an email if you have any Q's.
