Yeah I did.
Ima call it a night and give it one more try tomorrow.
I had the car lifted only from the front.
Maybe lifting the car both sides should give me a little more clearance?

How high did you guys set your jack stands for the clearance?

Sounds like you aren't lifting the motor in the right spot or something. When you loosen the passenger side bolt, the engine should be able to be jacked up a few inches which lets the pipe slide in with ease. Someone should make a video of this as this is the hardest step with their exhaust for both install and removal.

I used a lift

With ease??
Wish you were my neighbor so you could show me.
I actually unscrewed both engine bolts so I could lift it a little more.
Probably wasn't a good idea:



Everything went back into place after I lowered the engine though.

actually i do recall having to put the back half of the car on jack stands too, so that the rear end of the exhaust pipe could get enough of an angle to squeeze through. Give that a try.

How high did set up your jack stands?
As of right now that's my only hope.

i don't recall, probably only 1 or 2 clicks, but i'm sure that will vary depending on the jack stand.

Great news, I lifted the back and the pipe slipped right in!
I bolted everything on, turned the car on, but now it's making a *clicking* sound.
It goes away after the car is warmed up.
I re tightened everything, but no luck

Posted up a video so you guys can hear it:

My only guess would be the top of the over pipe is hitting the bottom of the engine.
What do you guys think?

What are you torquing everything to? Had a similar noise when I installed my header until I went in and tightened to about 50% over factory torque spec.

Wasn't using a torque wrench so honestly I don't know.
After the car was warmed up, I turned off the car and re tightend everything.
I'll try it again, I just don't want to f up the nut.

Two quickies:
1. The two circle gaskets that came with the overpipe; One goes between the header and the othe other goes between the midpipe correct?

2. I got new oem gaskets for my headers for this instal. Did it matter what side they were facing when I put them on? They look identically the same from both sides.

One is a 2.5 inch front gasket and the other is a 3 inch front gasket. In case you have a different header. The rear end of the overpipe has a donut gasket. It doesn't mater what direction the front gasket faces. Hope this helps

Since this thread got bumped, we ended up with a couple of extra 3" OP/DP in stock with helmholtz resonators.
