Anyone got / fitted a japspeed cat back stainless...
Got mine couple weeks ago, i fitted it by myself on axle stands one section at a time startin from the CAT back
Got it all on, but both tailpipes are catching inside the bumper outlets
Pass side tailpipe is too high and hitting at the top
Driver side tailpipe is over to one side and hitting there
These exhausts join by nuts and bolts on every section so theres no play / adjustment there
Ive emailed japspeed they just say theyve sold hundreds and not come across it before
One thing to note is the last few inches of the tailpipes on these are still 2.5' they dont reduce to 2.25' like scorpion, cobra etc
All original honda exhaust rubbers were used, they have no damage and are all on properly..
On tickover and pullin away in first there rattling bad
Im gettin concerned about the heat were the tailpipes are touching the metal surrounds behind the bumper triangle outlets
Also this exhaust gets extremely hot even at the tailpipes, like too hot to put finger on even at tailpipe
Is this normal for stainless exhausts for type r?
Im still quite new to this car
Having owned cosworths / rs turbos / mondeo st in the past, all of which i put stainless exhausts on, those didnt get near as hot as this type r exhaust, and they didnt discolour due to heat, even after couple years..
This one on the type r only been on bout 3wks (was new) and its starting to show heat dis colouration already.....
Only thing i can think to try is undo it all and refit starting at the tailpipes working back towards the cat pipe....
Anyone any advice?
Thx
