In the parts catalog it shows two sleeves to use when fitting. Presume these are required? And are not part of the standard set up?

the sleeves are part of oe system so if you havent touched your exhaust then you should already have them, you can reuse the cat to middle pipe sleeve, but if its not a genuine exhaust pipe youve bought then you will need a u clamp to hold the other end.

buy new coach bolts and the old sleeves will be fine to use again. but note they are slightly different sized sleeves so dont mix em up

Just gone to do this and there is no sleeve between the middle box and back box. WTF?

Exhaust Is factory fitted.

Time for some chopping I presume.
