Default They had a production issue...

<center><img src="http://gallery.me.com/b.auch/100151/103_2093/web.jpg"></center><p>I spent a whole day installing it and trying to get it aligned right... it just wouldn't fit and was "wall-eyed". I thought I was just being challenged, and I took it to a local, reputable exhaust shop - the guy looked at it up on a lift, and said it was either "bent all to hell" or "not designed for this exact car". The tips pointed in different directions, stuck out like a ricemobile and the entire assembly was crooked.

I contacted Blueflame (it took a bit of time) - they found a problem with the last batch of exhausts they had sold. Today I had a brand new exhaust on my doorstep. Thumbs up to Blueflame for (hopefully) fixing the issue!

Nope, it's too expensive for them to take it back - they said I could do what I wanted with it.

Default Heh, I had people on here trying to help me out when I couldn't get it lined up.

I was feeling pretty dumb as all the installations I read were straight forward and everything would line up perfectly with minimum effort for people.

You might try contacting Blueflame... it took a couple of months but I finally got it today.

hmmm... I would be willing to buy it off you if you think it can be fixed to fit. Did the shop you took it to say there was any way to make it fit? I am in CT, so shipping would determine if its worth the cost.
Thanks

Default I'll be going by the exhaust shop sometime next week and I will ask them what they think.

I'll let you know. I'm over in California so shipping wouldn't be cheap.

Default Be sure to paint that puppy. Makes it disappear under the car.
