Scott,

I will concur with Jim on this one. The new I got was welded and the
mounting tab was about 1.5" too long. Trim and drill a new hole. The bend
that goes parallel to the firewall was also not a full 90deg to the rest of
the pipe, more like 80deg.
I also found that the rubber hoses that go from the pipe to the firewall (
elbow pipes ) , need a little pipe sealent. They slide on very well, the
clamps at max didn't completely seal them. So, I ended up using a little
Loctite gasket sealent. It looks and smells like grape jelly :-)
hope this helps
