Unhappy so sad!!!!my greddy sp2 touch the edge of my bodykit!!!!

does anyone has the problem like me?? the greddy sp2 exhaust is tooo wide,and it totally touch and push the edge of my mazdaspeed rear apron bumper......i just drove it for few miles...i can smell the melt of my bumper.!!!!!! sooooo sad...and i cut the greddy pipe to do some adjustment to center the tips.......that means i lost my warranty of my greddy exhaust......too bad....i just cant figer out if it is the size problem of my copy mazdaspeed kit, or all the mazdaspeed kit will have brought that trouble......pray that there will not be any problem with the sp2....or im dying!!!!!!!!!

yup exactly....but with the mazdaspeed bodykit installed..even the stock exhaust pipe are not in the center of the space it is supposed to be.........but since the tips are not tooo big...it is ok...just looks a little weird......but with the greddy sp2...omg.....anyways .the greddy sp2 sounds cool!!!^^

Well, since you are in Vancouver, are you coming out to the drive on Saturday? a few people might be able to give opinions in person, if that might help. And if your friends have 8s too, bring them out too... the more the merrier.

Its the your body kit .. the ones that are not real are made out of molds and are not always exact if you got the real one you would have no such problem. As for fixing it to take it to your body shop tell them to cut that piece out. You made a bad move by cutting the greddy exhuast out. It cost 700 buck while the back piece of you body kit cost what 200 bucks?

It's the material/paint job of the kit since it's a replica... Get the real MS rear and you should not have this problem.
