Exhaust FP Aligning
 

Changed my headers, OP and FP. Can't seem to get the fp aligned with the hangar no matter how much I fiddle with the other components. Tried to fit it into the hangar first before aligning it in the bolts with the other parts, but for some reason it seems like the shape of the FP is not fitting in the exhaust cutouts on the chassis. Should I just take it to a shop at this point (there was no rattling or anything while driving)

Another thing, the spring bolts, how tight should they be? I just keep tightening them but the nuts themselves don't get 'tighter'. The nuts just go more into the threads with even force throughout. For the time being I put them on the last couple threads of the bolt (spring is fairly compressed).

What brand is it? My 321 frontpipe fits okay.


I would take it to a shop so they can extend the mounting tab.

i tightened the spring bolts all the way for my exhaust they can't really be overtightened as the bolts will simply stop turning after it gets to a point. as for the hangers, you can loosen them and shift them over by roughly .5-.75cm. I did this myself to get better alignment with my catback while ensuring the overpipe was far away from the crossmember that caused rubbing/vibration on hard left turns

The hangar itself can be loosened you mean? I'll look for wherever it's connected to and see what I can do

just that middle bolt you can see at the middle in your picture. There is space you can slide the hanger left or right a bit

ah yeah I tried it wouldn't budge enough to get to the hole (or I can't put in enough force). Just gonna take it to a shop honestly since I have to go for other things they'll probably just do it for free

I hear some front pipes won't fit automatics in case yours happens to be. So, just flip the bracket around.

wait fr? Yeah I'm an auto

I assume there are bolts for the bracket inside that you'd have to undo?
