I'm sure someone will buy it from you, though, but yes, would be a pain to offload and repurchase something more fitting. So you got the Nameless overpipe/front pipe combo and not the direct fit one, right? You have the one where you have to lift the engine a little for easiest fit? I hear so many things on both sides.

This pipe: http://shop.namelessperformance.com/...aces-overpipe/

I bought it used and it was pre-dented by the previous to clear the engine. Great clearance everywhere (and likely wouldn't have touched my car even without the dent) and it fit pretty well too. Just sounded awful with my setup.

You'd have to lift the engine no matter what to get any aftermarket OP in. The Nameless combo pipe was honestly a pain in the ass, I had to jack the car up higher then jack the engine up so I had enough clearance from the floor to wiggle the pipe in.

Ah. Thanks for the clarification. I was considering a future combo of the ISIS overpipe and the Nameless front pipe. I haven't read anything on the midpipe, so I'm curious about that too.

DocWalt · 12-10-2014, 02:45 PM

Keep in mind the ISIS OP is not 2.5" it's more like 2.25" or something. I didn't measure. It's smaller than my header's flange, but bigger than OEM.

Ignore my brother nearly stalling the car as he pulled out of the driveway... and check out the awesome wheelhaus third brake light

Oh, and check out the cool exhaust sound too lol

Not sure how. Heck, you can't even remove the stock one without lifting the engine if you don't take the heat shielding off.

That's exactly what I had to do: reach back there with an open wrench and blindly unscrew the head-shield bolt a quarter-turn at a time, cutting my fingers in numerous places in the process.

Fitting the Perrin OP in took some Tetris, but once you find the right entry angle it slips right in (and won't come back out). Definitely helps to have the front pipe out of the way too.

Don't get me wrong, it was a major PITA, but nevertheless didn't have to lift the engine

Glad to know it's possible. Took me a minute to jack up the engine and not screw around with that
