i just got the new megan racing downpipe in... but i have couple problems... how am i suppose to hook the downpipe to the exhaust hanger? it looks like it has flanges on both side to connect to the rubber mount but there is not hook to hook it on... so am i suppose to use a bolt to connect the flange to rubber mount? if so... megan downpipe came with 4 set of bolts... none of them fit in the hole... any help?

 

i can't remember if I used the stock bolts or not but I didn't hook it up to hangers

 

no, the stock one should be a hook also.. i just took my RSR downpipe off ... it hooks onto the hanger... the megan downpipe got nothin to hook on it...

 

I used some bolts I had laying around. I think all the bolts they supply are for the exhaust itself and are way too big to fit in the hangers.

 

yea...you dont hook them on them on the rubber mounts, you use the screws supplied to screw them in.

 

What kinda horse power gains do you get out of a down pipe?

 

the flanges are screwed onto the rubber hangers, not hooked on, as you can see in the pic below. (the same way the flanges are bolted to the hangers on the stock downpipe) i just used the original bolts from the stock downpipe.

 

man.. i just switched from RSR downpipe.. they use hooks... i don't even have stock bolts anymore... i'll have to buy new ones

 

and also.. i thought the new version of megan downpipe have no problem fitting... mine rubs as hell...

 

rubs where? mine doesnt rub. it touches the oil pan at one point (very small area) but causes no rattles or rubs, ive just been to lazy but it just needs a little adjustment and im going to heat wrap it.

 

Wow..........that looks like it would rub the transfer case

 

it doesnt.

 

Megan hasn't come out with their new DP's yet for '05 and up. It should be later this month - Calvin said about 2-3weeks and they should have the new DP's and catbacks ready! Can't wait - I've been on that list since I got my original in Sept. :-(

 

i got the megan dp on my car and no fitment issues at all. guess i got lucky.

 

are you guys using the stock bolts to bolt the downpipe to the o2 housing or no?? Mine didnt come with any otehr bolts and I tried using the stock ones with springs and they werent long enough.
