i tried installin my obx headers and cat back exhuast today..no damn luck..the downpipe does not connect properly to the headers.. and the apexi cat back i got yeseterday..the bolts dont match up with the catalic converter!! wat to do!?!?..should i contact obx to get a new downpipe??.someone please help

and oh yea im driving with open headers and everythin..loud as a mother..i need to take care of this ASAP!!

 

how big the problem with the headers? could you connect all bolts and nuts before tightening?

Nashua.

 

i could get one side on of the downpipe but once i did the other side could not fit..

 

 

Wow i know how u feel its a very very pissy feeling i can relate to the open header and it sounded like the biggest pos so i got it towed to a shop and got them to do it . I found that if u dont have the right tools or a lift well u spend 12hrs underneath a car for nothing . I feel ur pain

 

so did the shop get it to fit correctly and how?

 

and also i think the part of the downpipe that bends hits the oil pan..

 

Are you sure you have correct front and rear headers?

 

yup..the rear header is the one with the obx tag on it..

 

anyone else have fitment isssues with the obx downpipe to the headers?

 

At first when i was doing the install on the stone headers it looked like the downpipe was going to be really really close to the oil pan but after a little bit of moving this and that it some how had alot of clearance between the header piping and the oil pan . I just need the shop to tighten up the bolts and nuts . Just call around and see what install price is I got mine done for 75 bones .

 

oh..yea..are you suppose to tighten up the bolts to the headers first then add on the downpipe..or would it be better if i kept the headers loose and bolt on the downpipe?

 

I very loosely bolted everything together and made sure it fit, then I tightened everything down.

but then again,
I have a six speed.
