AMS Exaust hook-up
Read this before installing.
Just got done installing my exhaust and wanted a few thing to be know pictures are included.
1. The exhaust only come with one gasket
2. The picture the have on the site is a joke if you still have the stock "cat" on.
it will not be flush with the plastic exhaust hole.
3. You will need to move the middle hanger down one peg otherwise the pipe will touch the "diff" and drive shaft. Which will obviously break fro the vibration if you leave it on.
As you can see from the pictures the pipe will be touching the diff and drive shaft if you do not lower the center rubber hanger from the front. bolts come right off.
good luck to you all.
This guide is mostly Cali folks who will be putting this on it might be different it you putting the High flow cat on.
Sound Sick though.

Any Higher and it would be touching the diff directly.
This is why i said if you still have the stock "CAT" on it looks this way trust me My cousin is a mechanic.
We put it on went WTF and lowered it. it has clearance. And I going to Rally the thing so the height will increase a bit so I am not to worried just letting everyone know.

That's wild. Is it possible that you got the EvoX variant sent to you by mistake?
I know the fitment of the two is very similar but off just enough that there is some modification required to fit it. I remember somebody posting up an X catback install on the RA but it took some work to get it to hang even close to correctly.

I hate to break it to you but after reviewing other pictures of the same exhaust on other ralliarts, i believe that yours is to low. Other pictures show much less of a gap. In could be wrong, im just going off other AMS single CB exhausts for ralliarts.

Yea I know its low that's not the problem...the problem is if i put it up to the regular point its touching the bolts on the "Diff" I don't want the vibrations to tear it up either. so if anyone has a picture of there hook up show it to me.

I believe that one of the only differences between the RA and X exhaust is that there was an extra bend in the pipe to clear the diff.
