test pipe with no bend

I ordered a test pipe with no bend in it after reading that it wouldn't be a problem. Now that I'm looking at it next to my factory cat, I'm just not seeing how this is gonna work. I want to make sure it's gonna fit before I waste money paying a shop to put this on.

So how exactly is it possible, is there some way to adjust the hangers for the cat-back so it can be lowered? Cause otherwise it would have to be angled up to meet with the test pipe and the 2 flanges wouldn't meet correctly.

I have a MAP one and it is straight. To comes down to flange angles and hanger placement. I have no rubbing issues. I ran it with another brand catback and now with a MAP catback.

Thanks man. I have a MAP dp and Magnaflow catback. I don't remember the flanges being angled but we'll see tomorrow.

I had a test pipe from top speed (straight) that came with my exhaust. I replaced it with a resonated pipe (I should have just went HFC) from Speed Circuit that is bent like stock. The straight piece actually has better fitment.

Yeah it ended up fitting fine. Now that I see it on there I get what you guys are saying about the angle. It was hard to tell until it got put on the car. Sounds much better now

Have tried both bend and no bend, no bend comes very close but cleared it barely i would recommend the one with the bend so it doesn't get so close to the DS>
