Make sure your catback isn't pushed backwards or to the side, or it can rattle on things/contact the diff when you go over a speedbump. ok , also would any more pictures explain my situation ? Nah, it should be alright unless you run into any difficulty. My 'cat' was about an inch too long, so it pushed my whole exhaust back about 25mm, which made it rattle on the diff on startup. Very annoying. Then I readjusted the cat and chopped 25mm out of the back pipe of it and it was fine. I can chuck a picture up of my cat if I have one on my phone if it will help, I think I took one while it was out. Phongus covered it pretty well, unfortunately it's really a thing you have to do by eye depending on your extractors and the rest of your exhaust. If I redid mine I'd go with 3 bolt flanges, as they have a lot better chance of sealing than the 2 bolt ones.

Thats why they call them short runners, low down torque, long runners are for top end. |
