How to install Manzo 2 exhaust?
 

I am no stranger to exhaust installs and attempted the catback install of my manzo v2 today. All the stock pipes are off fine, however the mid pipe to stock secondary cat has me stumped. I don't think I was given the correct bolts for this as the stock bolts which have springs don't fit, nor does it seem like the donut gasket.

I was given one set of nuts and bolts and those don't fit either....any suggestions? Anyone have this exhaust and installed it yet? Do I need to go buy my own hardware? Do I use the stock donut gasket? I was given two smaller gaskets so I assume the donut gasket is no longer used.

This is similar to the Invidia N1 exhaust if anyone has tips on that install?

n1 style was hard to put on for me :(. Muffler goes on first with hanger. then you connect the y pipe to mufflers then have to keep adjusting midpipe and y pipe to get everything in haha.

Yeah it isn't the alignment, it's the bolts not fitting. Bought some new ones. I'll report out tomorrow when I try them out.

that's lame :(

Had the same problem I just took one of the bolts from the stock mid pipe with me to autozone an matched the bolt. The ones that come with are for aftermarket front pipe because the hole is usually bigger

Donut is no longer required. Should have 2 gaskets one for midpipe to front pipe and other for muffler to midpipe

Bought m8 bolts as pictured above. Thanks guys! Exhaust sounds awesome....wish it aligned better, if the rear section was two pieces it would fit perfect.

Glad you got your Manzo on! I've had my V.2 for a month or so now. Great Sound. I think Manzo is under rated.

What does your fitment look like. Mine took some tweaking to get perfect. Looking at the ass of the car (which is a mighty fine ass) the tip on the right (passenger side) was to the left of the exhaust opening. Is this how yours looked?

Yea mine is the same way but u have to stare at it to notice it.

Same for me. I need to be like 5 to 10ft away to notice. Any further and its unnoticeable. Have your tried anything to fix it? I was going to jack the rear end of my car up this weekend to see if I can fiddle with the hangers.

Honestly no i have not. I've had it on for almost 4 months not noticeable enough for me to worry about it

Yeah, isn't enough to warrant a fix.

Just ran into the same problem while trying to install @irxproductions exhaust.

Not only did the bolts that connect the Manzo front pipe to the stock overpipe not fit, the exhaust section was touching the rear suspension! Also, the rear tips were crosseyed in the exhaust openings. Had to remove it and I think it will be going back as defective.

Dug around and found some bolts in a drawer that would fit.
