Working with Q on this issue...

 

mine had the same problem man, i bent it, then decided to just cut it. there are a few ive seen that dont fit right and u have to bend or cut them. good luck man

 

So have you tried bending the pipe? Pry bar...bends pretty easy.

 

ok. I re-read it and it made sense for me lol

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 shouldnt have to bend anything if the item was properly made. another bootleg company

 

^ 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.

 

for what they charge i would expect it to be a perfect fit.....

 

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.

 

I FEEL you

 

They have great customer service they will take care of you.

 

hmm this is the first time i have heard of this problem. I've been interested in the epm dump so i am curious to see how this gets resolved.

 

Hey man just give Q a pm...He is very helpful and would be more than willing to work with you on the issue...Their customer service is great...Like i said shoot him a pm about what's going on

 

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

 

My friend has the same issue. Its just a hair off from his ETS licp but he made it work though.
You just have to play with it.
