That is why is installed in that way in the DC Race Header tail, I really don't mind in cutting modifying breaking, etc the aftermarket parts.
Then if one day I want to go back to stock just swap in the OEM parts and everything is fine.

I'm with you on this. I spent an entire afternoon trying to find a place to put the Y-pipe that came with my QTC cutout. I don't know about your DMH, but the 3 bolt flange on my Y-pipe puts the gearmotor at angles that keep it from fitting anywhere. We just don't have the ground and frame clearance of the American V8's that these were intended for.
I'm also with you on the keeping your stock parts. Too many people sell their stock stuff. Good luck selling your car with all the junk we bolt on to anyone but people from the forums. I'm planning on hacking up my Vibrant catback AND my stock midpipe, but I'm going to buy a new midpipe ($110-150) from the dealership so that I can go back stock. I'd rather spend the $150 on a backup midpipe than risk farking up a $350 (damn near impossible to install) header.
