Zero1 Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Loosen the connections and tighten from the front of the car toward the back. If that doesn't help take it to an exhaust shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brett Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 this exhaust along with many other of the similarly priced systems are very poorly made. a good dual exit exhaust will cost over $1,200. quality isn't cheap. an exhaust shop is your best bet.

derp Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I have no issues at all with fitment on my FMS. I could suck start a snow blower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buffalo legacy Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 I have the same issues, my exhaust hangers are kinda stretched and old, hoping that new hangers and a second go at fitting it will help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin622 Posted May 26, 2013 Author Share Posted May 26, 2013 I contacted the company and just waiting to see what they say cause it's like one side is just way off. I love the exhaust and the way it sounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvvLGTWagon Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Same issue that mine has. I will take it to a muffler shop soon to see if they can straighten out these issues. Mine was a nightmare to install that muffler to get on the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine was a nightmare to install that muffler to get on the car. Yeah my father and I were under there it was a pain you can see in my pictures how its pulling on the rubber from the hanger. I know someone that tig welds so I may see what he can do for me. I want it to not stick out as much either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin622 Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 well just wanted to update, we put the car up on the lift dropped the mid pipe down cut 1 1/4 inches off the end of the mid pipe and no more problems hangers fit nice everything sits even in the rear. And the pipe doesn't hit the sway bar anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvvLGTWagon Posted August 3, 2013 Share Posted August 3, 2013 Have a photo of the area that you cut? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin622 Posted August 4, 2013 Author Share Posted August 4, 2013 I don't, but its the mid pipe where it slips into the y pipe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvvLGTWagon Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Which part did you exactly cut off the Y pipe? The front part has a tight bend would be concerned about that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin622 Posted August 6, 2013 Author Share Posted August 6, 2013 http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r6/ehhockeystar44/LegacyGT/c3218784-6499-4e5e-8a5a-2f3cbed4883d_zps3051a54c.jpg The red arrow is pointing to the mid pipe its the pipe that connects to down pipe with the flange on one side. The other side is the side that slips into the y pipe. You cut that side so it pulls it back a little bit. Don't cut the Y pipe or else you wont be able to put your exhaust back together.

EvvLGTWagon Posted August 7, 2013 Share Posted August 7, 2013 I got mine fixed today! Tried to cut with with a pipe cutter though could not be touched with the stainless. Looked again and just appears that the slip joints were definitely not opened up enough. Took them to an exhaust shop they put them on a bender and opened them up. Took it home and everything fits perfectly now. Most of the time it took me to fix was trying to get the cutter to work but failed. If anyone purchases this exhaust make sure everything will slip together before putting it up and save yourself a ton of frustration. So glad I'm back in business.
