The pad fits great, probably a little stiffer/ les pliable than OE, IMO. My pad was definately the original, but its a minor detail really. I almost fillet'd my knee open working on the exhaust so I'm taking a break.. Heres a peak at the dash installed and the bezels in place. I'm gonna switch over to that probably and take a break from fighting with the exhaust.

The new head pipe fits great,and I have return slip for the worng one so I have give a big to TTI's customer service.

Back to work and then lunch.
