Perrin 2.5" Resonated Tip Alignment
I know this has been brought up a few times as I searched the forums and also google searched Perrin 2.5" Resonated Tip Alignment site:ft86club.com. I just recently put on my new Perrin 2.5" catback and really love it, but I'm just running into that one issue that apparently many have.
@PERRIN_Mladen mentioned below. Also @PERRIN_Chris talked about this as well in another post. Quote:
Has anyone found a surefire way to fix this in a timelier manner? I have a JDL front pipe made with a flange to mate the Perrin catback as well if that matters in the fitment, but it seems like most of the adjustment comes from the V-Bands and S pipe. |

Hi I think I might have replied to you over email or PM earlier. If you aren't able to get enough adjustment through twisting the S pipe before the muffler, you might want to double check to make sure that the S pipe is installed the right way. I've seen a couple customers install the S pipe backwards, making it not possible to line the tips to the bumper. I'm posting this picture up as a reference. If you're still having some issues, send me some pictures so I can check it out, thanks!

Do you recommend starting with the one closest to the muffler like another person suggested? I'll see if I can get another set of hands. |

You know, you probably found my issue. I'm not sure how much movement my Cusco hanger allows the S pipe to move front to back on the S pipe mount. I know the hangers for the muffler allow movement for them to bend front to back, but the 5th S pipe hanger I may need to spray with some WD-40 silicon spray to allow it to move a little bit.
Just trying to figure out what makes that left tip want to push out when tighting the v-bands. I really think that second set of hands should help. |
