Make sure u unbolt the rear half of the y-pipe too, and then you should be able to throw it in there. Having the air pump off helps alot.

Yeah some silicone lube should do the trick.

I work at a hottub dealer and that's what we do when putting our oring parts to fit.

I dont see what the huge problem is, its gotta be much easier off of the car then when I did it with the rear half on the car. The rear half was left on when I installed the efini pipe.. All I did was tilt the rear up and used some elbow grease and pushed the other half back in. The rubber o-ring stayed in place and I had no problems. It did take quite a bit of force, so using lube is a good reccomendation as the others have stated.

Should have used more lube!! Ha haha!!! Just Kidding!! It is however all about the lube with o-rings. Glad you got it! Argh! I only wanted to quote the broken hand part! Oh well.
