Breaking down and asking for help

Yeah it did. What effect does that have?

It pry needs removed.
That nut looking thing on the stud holds the Y pipe out- it wont seal up.
The stud is for NA exhaust

Does someone have a picture of this?

I'll take a picture of it today. On follow up I actually drove the truck around and the tick is much better. Must be I haven't sealed the up pipe well enough. Now it's just a quiet tink vs loud tick.

So I couldn't get a clear picture of it from my truck. But I uploaded a picture of the kit. See below. What he is talking about is on the vertical pipe furthest to the left there is a little tab welded on it (look at the straight section of the pipe, and follow it down to where it starts to bend). That tab get bolted to a metal piece where the cross over pipe and the cast iron pipe meet. The metal piece has holes in either end. One to bolt to that tab below, and the other to bolt where the cast iron and cross over pipe meet (it uses one of the flange studs). You push the up pipe in as far as it will go and then tighten the bolts on the tab and stud to hold the down pipe in place and keep it from slipping out of the slip joint. When I sealed everything I used some exhaust sealer as well.

I gotchya. I'm less hopeful that I have that did causing my tick now since I'm running N/A.

There might be a different set up NA but I'm not sure. My truck had the turbo on it since I got it.
