turboxs midpipe problem.
k, here's my problem. I ordered the turboxs test pipe after reading through a few posts that although it may "weep" it will bolt up to the stock cat-back. But, the rear flange seems to be slightly rotated from the factory position causing the muffler to sit tweaked, with the right side sitting too high and the left too low. Is this the way it is supposed to be in order to mount to the turboxs cat-back or do i have a defective part? As a side note... don't do this unless u like the fart can sound... because it's incredibly raspy... or do do it if you want flames lol.

lol no i don't have to accounts, the other is my buddies account, i'm at his house right now. And what i ended up doing is cutting the cat-back and using an exhaust cupling to get it to the proper rotation then just welded around the coupling. Solid

that's well and fine, but what happens when you decide to put the cat back on for a test, to quiet the car down, or to sell it? I'd always rather modify the aftermarket part than the stock part, personally, so I can always reuse the stock part if I take the mod back off.

Al, those were my sentiments, as well, when chickenwafer first discussed his fitment concerns a while back. Seems kinda odd to not have an exhaust product that will work with others' offerings.
