Ya, definitely once we get our new site done I can have you do a review for us on the catback. We are doing an all new web site and will have customer reviews and forums on there.

If you got it for free why didn't you just send it back saying "test failed"?

Would you pay return shipping for a 30lb exhaust?/I sold my old catback for a steal of a deal....

If the slip is tight and won't go in properly then you use anti-seize for lubricant.


We have sold over 300 units and our turbo backs have been a huge success.

Seems to me if it was a "test" that didn't work they should pay return shipping. If not then I guess you needed to get something back on your car.

FYI, our catbacks use all 3 rear hanger locations.

scorke, that's exactly how my RNR HKS carbon set when I first installed it.
I actually melted part of my bumper after a while.
What happens when the car is on load (accelerating pretty hard), the pipe shifts a bit more to the right (towards the bumper cut out), and melt the bumper.
I would strongly recommend you get a heat shield of some sort before you melt your bumper.

Hmmmm it seems that might be the problem, it has two hangers attached to the muffler, the one that I refer to as the "third" is the one right underneath where the cutout is in the bumper, there is no hanger there, it appears like there might of been at somepoint where there are weldmarks of sorts but no hanger. Could it be that it just never got its third hanger? The hanger that connects near the rear suspension close to the wheel and the one that is more central and is held on by two bolts fits fine. I will edit my post above if it is just that I got a duff rear catback section, I was really hoping it would fit well .

19PSI- Yeah I am going to need one for sure, after looking through multiple for sale/review pieces on this it seems like it sits close to the right side of the bumper regardless of how well it fits which I am ok with, just on mine it is realllllllly close. I am in the process of trying to find a new rear bumper anyway, so if worst comes to worst right now whatever... just would prefer to not have to buy a new one because my current one is melting away haha.

Our catbacks all have 3 REAR HANGERS. We have been making them this way for the past 3 years. If you didn't get one then that is your problem right thereas there is absolutely no stability. I can send you one today and you can have a muffler shop weld it on.


It either broke off in shipping or wasn't ever welded on.

If it was supposed to come with one I will goto an exhaust shop and just get it done there, no need/hassle nec. in terms of you shipping a hanger, its going to be a very short one so I doubt it will cost more than a couple bucks. I will go get one welded on today and post pics afterwards I have a sneaking suspicion it wont help much as the spot where the welding marks are are rihgt under the hanger location as is.
