They're a direct fit. It's a huge wait time to get them from anywhere.Krohn said:

I have the grill guard and the taillight covers installed. The rear bumper guard would normally require removing the hitch receiver (something I found only after calling the company after getting ready to put it on). It's a shame, since without my receiver it would be a one man job in about ten minutes. I did find a local shop in Little Rock willing to weld on some brackets so the rear bumper guard can use existing receiver hardware instead of requiring that I remove the support for the back bumper. I'll have those pics up once they're on.
Until then, I can at least show off the grill guard.

Spot weld on the Gibson exhaust. The shop and I talked about how much damage I do to this poor system (2 or 3 repairs in one summer) so we agreed to weld two sections.

Gibson : sounds like a scrappy brawler.

I now see why the Magnaflow instructions said "cut". Unfortunately, the Magnaflow seems like it was supposed to use the first two components of the first picture.

Via the second, third, and fourth pictures, you can clearly see the mounted Gibson front bits that (incidentally) line up with the Magnaflow back bits.

Pictures five, six, and seven show what is now left of the Gibson outside of what is still on my Escape. There are spot welds and missing / broken hardware.

The last picture shows the Gibson in and on the Magnaflow box, which is bigger than the Gibson box.

If you're not turning around to look at your car as you walk away, you're driving the wrong thing.

Last sentence. If Bob, as in Bobistheoilguy is right...why even have a K&N unless it's for sound?
In fact, based on this, I may go with a NAPA filter as it shows more filtration.
My V6 makes more than enough power to not need a debatable 0.14% airflow, and the terrain I actually use it for, I'd rather have filtration.

Decided to put down some insulation.
First, sound. Local product. Didn't even use adhesive, as this is a trial run.
Waterproof, and will fit under Weathertec mats.
