Steve,

The pipes are usually referred to as front, back, and collector.
The front pipe is for cylinder 1 and 3
The back pipe is for cylinder 2 and 4
The collector takes the output of both the above and sends it to the cat.

Looks like you need only one pipe replaced, the one getting cylinder 1 and 3??

Eric
p.s. I don't have bentley here, so it could be the reverse: front for 2 and
4, back for 1 and 3....sorry for the confusion!
