So Im having 46 million problems installing this thing. One issue I'm concerned about is as I lined up the new flanges on the exhaust manifold and tightened them down as much as humanly possible and the down pipes still wiggle around. Any ideas of how to fix that?


Another thing is I cant get the provided exhaust clamps to hold everything into place and the H wont line up in the center of the car like it is supposed to. Its wanting to lean to the drivers side.

Has anyone else ran into these problems? And if so how did you fix it?

 

I think Pypes started including some pipes that fit inside the manifold end and make a better seal. Did you get those?

Modular midpipes are a pain. My Bassani X was very difficult to install. Just keep trying.

 

I did but I couldnt figure out what it was for. Makes sense now

 

Have you also looked through the walkthrough installation posted on these forums?

 

Yeah mine is a little different though I had an aftermarket x that was welded in and its just been a ton of problems

 

You should have 2 sleeves that go inside the uppermost pipes and help seal off the round edges on the bottom of the exhaust manifolds. Don't tighten anything down until you have everything in, or else nothing will fit.

 

Finally got it together and it sounds bad azz except for the leaks ugh....

 

^^^^Get it welded, mine is!!!!

 

I am tomorrow I am so happy with this. I drove it through town all day and got a ton of compliments. Even smoked an R/T challenger and another GT mustang I love this thing and would recommend it to anyone. I felt a good power increase and OMG the sound is so badass!!!

 

I was thinking of getting those as my next performance mod. Did you have it on jack stands or a lift. I am a big guy (6-3 290) and it is a PIA for me to work under the car. I have put an H-pipe dual conversion on my 1996 V-6 Stang, but that was about 40 lbs ago.
