Ive tried to search for this answer. I have a 2013 ram 1500 2wd. If i was to buy the JBA longtube with the y pipe would it bolt up to my MBRP catback. Or would i have to take it to get it welded up? Thanks.

Just did the install with jba long tubes but I had a mufflex muffler on. Not sure of the Mbrp kit but if it still uses the three inch pipe coming off the factory y pipe you will have to shorten it by a few inches.

Thank you all for your feedback. I'm looking forward to installing them. I'll try and take pictures during install for others.

As others have said, if your catback bolted up to factory, you should be good. Just expect to do a little length trimming to get things aligned correctly so you don't end up pushing the tips out further than you'd like. I had to cut mine off at the catback when I put my JBA on because I couldn't get it off, but I needed to trim anyway. Wish I would have trimmed a little more since my tailpipes are now pushed out past the bumper an inch or two further than I'd like. Ended up with a weld connection instead of the clamp, so I'm pretty much h stuck with it now unless I want to put more effort into modifying the alignment.
