did you see the second picture? see the gray nuts/black bolts (3)?
remove these nuts, drop the center pipe, slip the bracket over the pipe, fit it over the 3 bolts, attach the nuts, attach the rubber donut.

hmm... why are there more hangers than needed, then?
and what was all this i heard about the coupes having a hanging point than the roadsters? geez... i'm so confused.
attempted rotating the midpipe when installing -- no luck there. the thing just doesn't fit properly.

but it's not the center pipe that's a problem... it's the muffler and tips...
even when i lift up/swivel/twist the center pipe around, i still have fitment issues in the rear...

dustan and warren have taken really good care of me!
sometimes, they've been a wee bit slow, but they always came through, and they were always willing to deal a bit. cool cats to be sure!

but even lifting the mid pipe and turning the mid pipe...
and molesting the mid pipe in every way possible still yields tips that don't fit properly. i'm going to break things. that's just it.

Dude... you may just have to bend one or both of the rear muffler >>>
mount thingies (the ones on the muffler can itself.) Unless the alignment is just completely wonky, then a little bending may be in order to get things right. How bad is it?

the tips are too close together and hang down too far...
my new camera is coming tomorrow, so i'll post pics from behind and from below.
basically, i'd have to get under there with a torch to make magic happen.

Ok, then it sounds truly defective... a little bending is not uncommon on any system >>>
depending on the day it was made and the exhaust hangers and the car itself. Some go on perfectly, some need a little tweaking, and some are just screwed up. Like yours. Sorry. :-(
