By positioning this "Bomb" at a key point in the system, increased performance and flow is achieved through the expansion and contraction of exhaust waves as they pass through the system. The result is a flow increase of nearly 10%!
had to modify the bracket with a metal blade on angle grinder
The pipe fit and works now that I modified the mounting bracket. The bracket was put on backwards so the flange was in-between the head which stopped the bolts and the pipe from completely snugging against the head.
