just make up a plate to bolt onto the back of the gate and weld the 3inch to that

u need to cut the dump off the plate, mill it back so it all open, cut some flat steel and weld to that and bolt it all up check this thread. http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showth...hlight=exhaust (http://www.calaisturbo.com.au/showthread.php?t=69682&highlight=exhaust)
