update..
update:
I got some pics now, the HKS + RP Supercat connect 2 different ways. The Supercat seems to connect straight and for some reason the HKS seems to connect upwards
. I didnt understand **** the mechanic was saying but thats all i seemed to grasp from the situation. The bolts I was sent were horrible and caused alot of gaps and leaks which made the exhaust sound like **** and made the fitment horrible. Which was the first problem fixed. Next thing that seemed to be wrong was the gasket from the headers to the front of the CAT was blown and i nor the mechanic had a gasket to fit the 3" piping so he used a silicone product. Blah Blah blah **** the talk, to get to the point: I spent some time at the shop, snapped some pics and fixed the fitment and sealed the leaks. The RP Supercat + HKS exhaust combo sounds good together, could use a resonator if your not going turbo but in my situation a resonator would not be necessary.. here are the pics:
video clip coming soon hopefully, cant find my ****** video card.
sorry for the **** pics, it was taken on my sidekick3 (shitty camera)

Nice video… now let’s hear it moving! 
HKS designs their Cat-back exhausts to fit perfectly with the factory CAT. I have found that the RP Supercat is slightly longer and the rear flange sits at a slightly different angle than factory. With the Supercat and my old HKS Legamax exhaust used together, I noticed that the tips were pushed out about an extra 5mm and the R & L tip alignment was slightly rotated.
