Exhaust fitting help/advice

mousitch · 10-15-2010, 06:47 PM

Too high? too low, crooked or just right? Aligning these things can be a bitch. Also maybe need x-pipe. Miss the "burble" of my Diablos but dont miss the volume. Headers def added to the "burble" too. Any fitment advice is appreciated. They are about the same place as my Diablos.

looks like the right side is down a bit from the left? 1/8 inch up and it's perfect imo. They sure fill up the cutouts nice. Well done

I would drop the left down just a fraction.

Cool fellas. I might get my girlfriend as a spotter and try again tomorrow. X-pipe on the way too.

^ one thing I found when installing mine is get them clamped just tight enough to hold in place.
Then use a mallet to rap the clamp to move the muffler into place, then finish tightening.

Awesome tip there.

I will try that

Damn, those tips are huge. Would love to hear these in person.

Would there be any issues with the heat from the exhaust softening (and possibly deforming) the plastic of the bumper?

83mm of beauty.

I've had mine on for ~ 3 months with no issue.
They're double walled, so that might help a bit.
