Default I dunno about "you get what you pay for" my new G2 is a very nice product . . .

I have never done an exhaust on these cars, done pig pipes but not just a plain old cat back, and I did it myself in about 40 minutes. Helps to have a lift, but I must say I was impressed by the fit. Using a small ladder I rested the dp's on there and assembled the exhaust piece by piece keeping everything loose until I got a look at the tips. They were damn near perfect and by using the slop in the hanger mounts got it very close to center first time out. Very impressed with the quality and fit of this exhaust. One question though, I think I'm getting a little vibration where the band clamp is hitting the other dp. I notice the clamps have dimples in them to locate them. Didn't really pay that much attention to them but can I rotate those clamps? Are there more than one dimple? tia and thanks Neuspeed and Eric at SPP.

Default The clamp is on backwards... BTDT

pulled it out and swapped it around and it was cool. One clamp faces towards the inside of the DPs, the other to the outside.

Default Did it make a funny vibration noise around 3500-4000 rpm?

and do you mean I should reverse the clamp? It still fits that way?
thanks . . .

Default It will fit...

Mine was creating a vibration while "engine braking" in 3000 rpm range until I reversed the clamp.

Once you get the clamp oriented correctly everything will fit better and you can really get the section before the first hanger up tight into the tunnel. Too tight in my case. I've got to go back in a grant some more clearance.
