X pipe fitment...

Kayzee · 03-24-2013, 06:14 PM

I am currently bolting on the Top Speed Pro 1 exhaust, and it seems the x pipe towards the cats is narrower than the original pipe.

It just wont align, i have to push the cats together but it doesnt look like theyd budge.

I would say the difference in space is about 1-2 cm, however no way to get them to stick together... any tips?

Don't take this incorrectly, but shouldn't you be addressing this concern with the manufacturer, or at least the selling retailer? Guess this is why F.I. has a 3 month waiting list... Good luck with your system...

This happens sometimes, best shot is to bolt up one side, then have a friend help you line up the other side and slide the bolts in there to hold it, then tighten everything down. You can use a rubber mallet or something similar to gently knock it into the position you want it before you completely tighten everything up. And do tighten down hard on those bolts, you don't want them coming loose on you from the vibrations of the exhaust. It's happened to me and I had to go to home depot to get a couple more nuts lol.
