SRT exhaust doesn't fit Australia.

So after all day stripping down my exhaust and trying to fit my new SRT Exhaust
It doesn't fit. The reason for it any who has a right hand drive car you will find that the steering column shaft will be perfectly in the way of your over pipe.

After looking at other images of previous installs, I found one image of the header pipe with the steering shaft missing. Makes sense, as the exhaust is made in the states. So for every one in Australia if you are going to get of these exhausts be prepared to have the over pipe redesigned for it to fit.

The cat back version should be fine though.

I removed the headers to see if could get it to fit of course with no luck. Good thing was it was only 6 bolts to remove. That was the highlight of my many hours today knowing another great deign feature of the 86.


Here is the over pipe and installed exhaust.

As you can see the over pipe was never going to fit. I cost me $276 to get a new pipe made. To be fare it took 2 and a half hours to make it up.

This exhaust is LOUD. I have the larger resonator as well, its ok cruising but put your foot down and your stereo becomes redundant.
