True on hammering down the downpipe. I got it down as far as I could with the time I had and it still rubbed the center diff, so I took it out and I'm gonna have a friend chop it up and get it to fit properly. I didn't have a problem with the o2 sensor not fitting. Mine points towards the passenger side and clears the floor and frame rail just fine. Maybe your midpipe is on backwards or maybe you can flip it around along with your test pipe? Worth a shot.

Even after spending an hour plus hammering the down pipe mine still touches the Center Diff. Basically hugs it. As for where my 02 sensor is going to be, I am taking it to a shop and going to have them mess around with it and see if they can get it into a spot where it doesnt hit anything, and if not they will just make an opening that works.

hmm i didn't have that problem with the 02 at all. It fit perfectly minus a bolt on the driveshaft cover and the acd spot i zip tied the 02 wire but it fit like a charm. There was a CEL but i got that turned off in my tune.

Pics might help

I must hav just got a fail system. I realized my muffler tip came damaged, The flange on the Muffler hits the underside of my car, the muffler tip hits my bumper and is slowly melting it away. + 5 other problems I dont feel like talking about. Basically I want a refund. I took it to a muffler shop, and with some smooth talking got them to put it on a lift and try all the angles and all the pipes in different directions to get it to work and I keep running into the same problems. I spent more at the shop then on the metal.

^ If you get this exhaust and expect to get a refund then I LOL at you. For the price it can't be beat and it isn't gonna fit perfectly.

For those of you hitting the DP with a hammer.... USE A TORCH to heat the metal. It looks like some of you are pounding on cold steel and that is not going to work very well. Use a small propane torch and get it hot then lightly whack it and the entire pipe will adjust ... not just the impact point.

91GST... I'd be interested in your old exhaust. PM ME

HAHA. I would like a refund, didnt say I would get it. Just going to have a shop fix it, just cost money, I still end up paying a ton less than any other system.

Can anyone with the ebay exhaust do me a huge favor. Measure the length from the begining of the test pipe to the tip of the muffer, and measure the total length from where the dp is verticaly to the muffler tip thanks! And a couple pics of the hanger location/ match up of the rubber hangers on the car, would be Assume thanks in advance.

Anyone have dyno numbers of before and after? Or comparing it to a name brand TBE? The ebay TBE looks like it has better or less bends then some of the name brands so it might actualy make more power.

1 Chinese yuan = 0.146454 U.S. dollars


80 bucks = 546 yuan

Just imagine if you lived in Europe; TBE for 50 euros!

The currency has nothing to do with it or japan parts would cost nothing as 1 usd = 88.91jpy

80usd = 7113,30jpy

Its the labor rate over in china, its just huge factories with 4ft tall chinese people working for 10/week and thats yuan.
