That doesn't look right in the last picture??? Did you leave it like that?

I need to drop the rear hangar, like JapanJay, to get it off of the rear brace, but other that that, it fit perfectly. I also did not use the middle hangar.

My only real issue with this exhaust is the nasty sound when I decel with no throttle, sounds like a Civic with a cheap exhaust. Does that happen to anyone else?

Mine is that way to, probably since neither of us run cats. It is from like 3-4k

SlowZ 07-20-2014 04:37 PM

Yeah I just left it like that because it was midnight and I didn't have any washers. I test drove it and I had zero rattles or weird sounds. I passed a civic and at the next light he's like hey man that thing sounds badaśs!
I have test pipes too and the thing just screams.
On decel I do get that kinda weird sound aszyd is talking about.
Other than that the exhaust is perfect minus the missing bolts. With the bolts I received, I would have only been able to put 1 in each each flange.

My mid pipe is hitting my sway bar now. Idk how you adjusted your hanger without it hitting anything. I got 2 inch spacers and nothing is working

aszyd 07-20-2014 06:50 PM

I don't hit the rear sway bar. Even pushed up against the rear brace, I have a good 1" of clearance at the sway bar. I do have Whiteline sways, but I remember them being shaped exactly the same as the stock bars, just thicker. When I was messing around with the exhaust today, I found that twisting the pipes had a major effect on how the exhaust would hang on the car. Perhaps you should recheck all of the connection points and see if twisting something will align it better.

Final product. I took the vband off the mid pipe and the muffler and literally twisted maybe a 1/4 inch and it line up perfectly without having to use washers on the hanger. I can hear a slight rubbing noise when I get out if first but I'll track it down and just put some header wrap on it or something. Kinda over messing with this thing lol. But all said and done I'm very pleased with how it looks and sounds right now

Can you take a picture of the section that slips into the can section but at the opposite end of the can, trying to see how the spring attachment loops are in compared to mine. I would like to not have to extend the hangar, would help with the ground clearance I am dealing with.

Does that help?

SlowZ 07-20-2014 11:40 PM

They are lined up. Just haven't put the spring in. Don't know if they are really needed because it's on there pretty tight

Those springs are there to reduce the stress on the system. You won't need to have those clamps so tight since they will help hold the system in place.

Have someone bend your rear brace. Also, mine sounds like a F1 engine with the off throttle blown exhaust Lol.

SlowZ 07-21-2014 04:07 PM

Yeah I just took mine out on my lunch break and I was winding out first gear and my co worker said two guys gave me a thumbs up lol. Anything past 3k is deafening

Japanjay 07-21-2014 05:26 PM

Next joint down what the one I was referring to. Where the next set of springs go. And yeah, anything past 3k is retarded.

SlowZ 07-21-2014 09:19 PM

Kk I'll jack up the car right now and take a pic. Also, how much did you guys shave down the rear brace? Mine has been off since install because when I was doing it late night, I didn't want to take a grinder to it and wake everyone up. So I just took it off completely and sand papered the area where it was hitting so I knew where exactly it needed to be ground down
