anyone else running this exhaust? im having some issues with it. I want to know if anyone else is having the same issues. Please chime in!

 

what kind of issues are you running into?

 

rattling... clearance. It's hitting my drive shaft and or subframe. I've tried literally everything so im just wondering if it's a defective exhaust.

 

Have you checked to make sure your testpipe and/or mid-pipe is installed correctly? If either is installed backwards (and it happens!) you can run into clearance issues.

 

yes sir! twice.. two different shops. I took measurements... the mxp test pipe is short. by about 1/2 inch. which pulls the exhaust forward a little bit. It's causing some major clearance issues i have pics to post shortly. Im in an email war with reps at mackin... they are now placing blame on AMS downpipe... which is just aweful!

 

Funny you mention that. I was reading a thread a while back that said the AMS dowpipe is a tiny bit shorter, and it would have clearance issues with certain exhausts.

Here's the thread: http://www.evoxforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=37360

 

AMS also responded in that thread. I guess fitment can't always be guaranteed when mixing different parts. One solution was to weld in a pipe extension to the exhaust.

 

Ok, so i ordered a new test pipe.. (AMS) everything is fine clearance issue is fixed. As it turned out the MXP test pipe has a angle that cause the clearance issue.

 

any clips? I've been looking into running this exhaust with a HFC and DP...

 

I have this exhaust on my car and love it! No fitment issues at all. So the earlier AMS downpipes had some sort of issues?

 

I don't think it was much of an issue. Just that putting different brand exhaust parts might throw one or the other out of whack just a tad...

 

actually MXP's tp was faulty... they refuse to admit it... but the pipe has a weird angle that caused the clearance issue. You wouldn't know it unless you run the full set up. I had the MXP tp and MXP exhuast. I documented everything i even have detail pics of the clearance issue.

Anywho i swapped out the testpipe for an AMS one. ( same length as MXP resonated tp) Just one huge difference. NO weird angle, and everything clears. It's perfect now. My favorite dual exhaust on the market for the price.

 

I have installed about 5 mxp turbo back exhaust and have had no clearance issues it is probably ur downpipe

 

my buddy was having problems with one couldnt fix it so he jus dumped it
