Bad fitting

[speedy dave]

Anyone else had a bad fitting exhaust, this is what it looks like on all the hangers.

nyone else had a bad fitting exhaust?

[R3K1355]

Thats shocking, usually even the cheap exhausts fit without issue.

[Ghazoobe]

Japspeed one I had was banging against something but can't remember what.

[tompei]

without stating the obvious is it for the right s body?

[wardy88]

Who made it and do you have the correct decat for the car as the exhaust tip sits behind the bumper

[speedy dave]

That back pic is with no decat just rubbers and mid section bracket, was thinking is it for s14 maybe?

[Jon]

The rear pic looks to have a tie down loop in the way
Is the bumper new as well at the same time ?

[speedy dave]

On my last one i had to cut the tow loop but this one doesnt even go near it totaly bends to left. I didnt notice it on standard bumper but when i un screwed downpipe it shot over so it must of been under strain.

[Jon]

I am confused.
What has happened with your car recently? If there's a project thread I've not seen it.

Old exhaust shot over when released? cut off tow loop? Standard bumper? There's more than the exhaust changing around methinks

[speedy dave]

Ive not updated my project threqd for a while. Yes when i unsctewes the down pipe from the elbow the natural position was over to the right in pic. With my old s13 i had to grind the tow loop off when fitting exhaust even thr apex one.
Below is a pic of when i bought it with standard bumper i then fitted an after market one.

[speedy dave]

Could it be an s14 one? I cant sell it to get the right one because if it is a badly made s13 one i cant sell it to some poor sod

[cleanhands]

Have you ended up with one of those elbows that only works with a specific manifold? I've got one and if it's used with the standard manifold the exhaust would be shoved over like yours.

[speedy dave]

The exhaust shoved over to left isn't connected to the elbow that's the prob.

[wardy01]

My japspeed down pipe caused the back box the hit the prop shaft

[speedy dave]

ill have to bite the bullet and buy a whole new system. is there any way of finding out what system this is for so i can sell it and recoupe some cash?

[boshein]

I had the same issue with my exhaust, in the end i cut the decat in half and rotated the exhaust so it would sit neatly in the hole cut in the bumper, and then welded it back together

[speedy dave]

I had a proper look today its the back section thats badly made. If i disconect it and leave it on hangers i still cant move it over to middle as the bends hit the diff so thinks its a new back section. Id cut and reweld but dont have tig to do it.

[speedy dave]

Well the mid section back is all japspeed!! Go figure fitted ebay joby today and its perfect not changing decat or downpipe. 1-0 to ebay i think.
