Mount the turbo with all hardware secure bend dump pipe so it clears outlet pipe...that's it.

I havent tried bending anything. I am very annoyed that bending it is actually an option but at this point I don't see how else I can get that pipe on.

I'm not bashing these guys at all because the dump is a very nice unit but, I don't see how these things are being shipped out on a "made to order" basis without being test fitted.


I'm very annoyed right now because I can not take another day off to work on this dudes car. sigh

^ You're right that it shouldn't have to be bent. But I don't think they use a jig like other companies where it's a perfect replica. They make it by hand or eye. It works, i got mine bent for clearance. I would suggest cutting off at least 1" in length.

If they do everyone by hand that should give them more of a reason to check fitment before shipping them out imo.

I feel bad for the poor unlucky bastard that pays a shop to install a part that doesnt fit. Now the shop charges the customer more money because they now have to alter the part to make it fit.

EPM seems to have great customer service. They should take care of the issue.

I, on the other hand have the JM Fab dump and I'm in love. I almost didn't want to install it, it's so pretty. Fitment was great. Only two issues. Dumptube contacted the downpipe flange. I grinded down the flange with a bench grinder in about 20 seconds, fixed. Also, the A/C line was in the way on the dumptube. A few light taps with a rubber mallet and perfection. Also, the dump tube exits infront of the LICP making it fit pretty much any LICP or J-pipe.

JM Fab is more expensive, but there was just something about the Jm Fab dump I liked better. I gave serious consideration to both EPM and JM Fab, but I choose JM Fab, mostly due to the dumptube route.

Like I said, EPM has great customer service and has taken care of many of their issues and fitment problems, no questions asked. I'm not at all trying to take away from EPM's sales by posting about my JM Fab dump, I was just sharing

You just have to play with it.
