Yep. If things don't perfectly fit together, ya gotta coax it a little!

To the poster - I have it. It fits the IX; chill. Didn't you ask before you ordered this stuff??

I orderd mine about 1 week ago. Hopefully it will be here soon. I was hoping today, but no such luck.

Damn.

Full 3" with cat, new "bullet" muffler.

the only issue i have is that the tip sticks out a tad bit too far for my liking but that's no big deal

But dyno is lying, its all in your head. You might get 10hp untuned from this install on the IX. The fun begins after the tune.

Putting a full 3" TBE will net more than 10WHP untuned.
