Glad to be of help and here's one more tip:

When it's time to tighten things up, first put something under the cat back pipes (I used a piece of 1/2" thick plywood) at the chasis cross brace, to hold the exhaust up where you want it (not banging the brace).

Then i snugged down the clamps at the midpipe/cat-back connection.
And then I went topside and tightened down the cats to the exhaust manifold (you can hear it pulling the new cats into position)- alternate front, then back bolt a little at a time til tight. Solo does not specify a specific torque amount, use your judgement but I did not go full-on Hulk, just tight.

Then back under and torque the clamp to 35ft/lbs. Don't forget to pull out the plywood.

Worked out great on this one...
