Yea I was mainly concerned because the 02 extensions did not look similar.

Yea I plan on contacting them tomorrow just to double check. I have contacted them multiple times and they have great service. I plan on reusing my OEM gaskets, would that be fine?

Sorry about your toes man. Just kidding. OEM gaskets? I did not get OEM gaskets. Or is it because I have 08's. First FI tried some crazy glue on my HFC's. Check engine light would pop up due to leaks. Than I went to Berk Technology. Got some of their Gaskets solved all my issues. So heads up for you.

So you would reccommend the Berks over the FI pretty much?

No they are all the same. I am not saying Berks is any better than FI. All I am saying is Berks was first company few year ago to include Gaskets with their HFC and TP's. When you take your OEM off they are basically card board glued to the pipes.

In single word test pipes or hfc from any brand are pieces of tube bent to fit your exhaust system. Now to finish them off properly you will need new gaskets. Ask FI to sell you Gaskets they will go to Berks buy them and sell to you.

Single word eh?
+1 On gaskets being key. On any metal to metal components, gaskets or seals are vital! You could get away with using your OEM one pending they dont damage when removing them, but they are so cheap it would be worth just buying them again. You could even make your own gasket from a sheet of cork or folder paper, but that's a bit ghetto. :P
