Heads Up! If you have either the Next Gen header kit or the Mussa Catback with the UPSWEPT TIPS, then this is for you if you're looking into the other mod. The Next Gen header kit has almost stock thick flanges..the Mussa, and most aftermarket, are thinner. When both are installed, the exhaust is pulled about 1.5-2" forward on the car and will cause the tips to be against your bumper. Possible paint loss and discoloration can occur! So..you must mod your mods to make a perfect blend! We did this, this morning at my exhaust guy's shop, took 20 min and a new piece of 2.5" pipe!

I have pics but can't seem to upload to this thread. We made the cut after the racepipe, or a cat, and before the resonator!

Wait I think I attatched the Pics!

couldn't you use like a .5" thick fabricated "spacer flange" with longer bolts in between the two pieces???

Nice job scy, I have the combo and my guy at vision audio did it for me and modified it to where it didnt hit the bumper, but i think he just lowered the stance somehow because the piping is low to the ground. Im not sure exactly what he did but i would be interested in seeing the pics.
