RE: BOOMTUBES~~~~!!!
anyone having issues getting tips aligned in cutouts? I've heard a few people had to bend hangers and/or brackets for proper fit.... would like to hear from both camps (those who did and didn't have to do any bracket or hanger bending).
..... I ask because these are on my list for next mod... love my Flowmaster ATs, but need more volume. Thx

No matter which exhaust you go with, i'm sure you'll have to do some sort of adjustment to get them to fit perfectly into the cut-outs.

Well since you asked here is a sound clip I made with my digital still camera in movie mode, not the best but will do for now. The Boomtubes are pretty loud but I love the gutsy deep sound they make. My car sounds pretty serious now even if the Boomtubes don't actually boost the power.

I had to adjust the hangers on the passenger side to get it to align properly. It was hanging lower than the driver side pipe. I was able to make the adjustment by bending the hangers by hand. Don't let this stop you from getting Boomtubes, if you have basic mechanical skills, this only take a few minutes.

I installed my boomtubes a couple days ago and I am having the same issue. Can you give me any advice as to how I wold go about bending the hangers by hand? Thanks.

I just placed the end of the hanger coming out of the pipe on a piece of wood for leverage so that I had the part after the bend out in the open and then beat on it with a hammer till it was bent at the correct angle. Not sure if this makes sense but it's hard to explain. I didn't bother adjusting the mid pipe because I could tell the at the issue on mine was clearly the hanger.

damn, what did i start? haha
ever since i endorsed BT's, it seems like the number of people getting them has gone up like 300%.
glad everyone's loving them. they sound downright intimidating from outside the car.
