Well if you put it on so it pointed the way I described it would aim the exchanger forward.
Look at the pipes that go to the head. About 3 inches from the head, both pipes bend 90 degrees. That would move the HE towards the outside of the car when properly installed. If you somehow (not even sure if it possible) managed to install it the wrong way, that 90 degree bend would move the HE towards the middle of the car. If the HE is no lining up with the head stud, check to make sure the head studs are straight and then make sure the HE little U tabs for the studs are straight and clean on the inside. Sometimes you may need to take a file and ream out the u tabs on the HE to get it to work. RIch |
