Buddy Club Exhaust Fitment Issues??

[Refill]

S13 with buddy club spec 2 exhaust.

Old exhaust was Apexi N1 single fit fine, switched to the buddy club but it's hitting the floor about 1 third of the way down and is an inch off from the downpipe (Cat is bolted to exhaust).

Anyone else ever have problems with Buddy Club exhausts?? Google turned up some kids on honda dash tech with fitment issues but no real answers.

fab your hangers shorten them thus pulling the system up good luck

If I pull it up it will just hit the floor even more.

Introduce your floor to a hammer.

its not the floor really, its the back bolt of the driverside that hits the pipe. Best way i did mines was to adjust the angle of the way how the exhaust hangers sits. I also fabbed a rubber and L bracket for that long hanger sticking out near the subframe to help the exhaust from moving around. Goodluck.

if its sthe slip fit one just pull it apart and bolt it up and put the back on the hangers and slide it back together

I had a similar problem. I just bought the blue ciruit sport exhaust bushings; which are very stiff, and stops your exhaust from flexin around. Good luck bro!

Going to give this a try, the slip fit is so fucking tight I need a second person to twist it or take it of.

a pic will be useful for future reference

i'd suggest getting all those hangers rewelded as well, its a known fact that spec 2's have shitty welds

try taking them apart again, adjust accordingly

the springs should have resistance

but at the same time, i know of people that cut hangers to make it fit

what brand manifold/dp/outlet/cat/tp?

[mewantkouki]

I know the fittment is pretty crappy on an s14, hit's the arch where the toe links bolt in the back of the subframe and the driver side seat bolt. We hammerized it in two spots and now it doesn't rattle anymore.

Full race manifold, Greddy downpipe. Chinese turbo extension and chinese cat.

Exhaust lines up perfect at the back, it's touching closer to the front on the resonator.

chinese parts are junk. Just got done cut and welding some of mine. I'll bet your name brand parts are good though.

I'm bumping this old thread..I installed mine .. Problem piping hits the driver side subframe and the tip hits the stupid driver side tow hook
