Then tighten the inside (top left for passenger side, top right for drivers side) bolt/shim first, then the bottom, then the 3rd one. Back up and look straight into the tip and make sure the stock pipe is centered inside the tip, then stand above the bumper and eyeball both tips to make sure they are even and one isn't sticking out farther than the other.
Thanks for your support. But I couldn't read your post before I installed the tips. I believe the GCC spec GT86 has bigger stock pipes that I had anticipated. I had ordered the EX1012 without checking how big the inlet requirement will be.



I had to remove the washers and the support metal(shims as you said it?). So basically, what you see here is attached via bolts only. Should that be a concern? Would I lose the exhaust tips on a bump somewhere ?

I couldn't for the life of me insert the tips with the metal thingies (shims).
