    Default catback exhuast hitting axle

    hey i installed my tsudo apexi n1 style exhaust a while ago and i never thought about asking you guys, but the axle back part of the exhuast which is supposed to go over the axle hits the top of it, it makes this annoying noise and i dont know how to get rid of it, is this normal, the guys at muffler tech siad that they usually go under the axle what do you guys think

    Most of the aftermarket ones do go below the axle. So you have just the axle back part that bolts into the stock pipe from the cat to the axle correct?


    That is kinda confusing how I worded it.. umm.

    Your exhaust is stock from cat to the axle correct?

    can you turn it upside down and make it go under the axle?

    Ive never seen one that goes OVER.. They all go under as far as i know.. FWD and AWD.. it may just be that you managed to make it fit in upsidedown.. :)

    I almost made a buddies Greddy EvoII go over on his gst.. but then i realized i was being a retard and fliped it over when it seemed like it just would NOT go..

    i see, i think i will take a look at it, cause i mean it had a flat part at the top of the pipe like it was supposed to be able to go along the top of the thing, but maybe that is for the bottom, cause i had to beat in the trunk a bit to make it fit.

    stock FWD goes over AWD goes under

    loosen up the flange bolts a bit have a friend hold the pipe away from the control arm and tighten them back up, that should do it
