thought this would be easier...

So this afternoon i received my direct fit magnaflow catalytic converter courtesy of kolak and no thanks to fedex shipping who took 3 weeks and couldn't even find my house...i had to drive 30 minutes to the next town to pick it up from their warehouse :/. So i try to put this thing on, thinking i was prepared with my propane torch and sawzall and various other tools, and between me and my two friends we could not get the excess piping out from the precats and muffler. The metal was clearly crimped together where the exhaust brackets were, i even got a piping expander from advance auto and im pretty sure i broke their tool trying...never really tackled an exhaust job before so i guess i was biting off more than i could chew with this, i guess ill take it to a local exhaust shop tomorrow unless i get anymore bright ideas haha

Is it a high flow or just a direct replacement?
