Glad we were able to satisfy you... Sorry for the issue, we actually found a few more studs with the same issue.

QUOTE(Jake Raby @ Jan 23 2008, 08:57 AM)  Glad we were able to satisfy you... Sorry for the issue, we actually found a few more studs with the same issue. No worries, apparently yours wasn't the only shop that received 9x1.25 studs that weren't really 9x1.25 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I really appreciated the quick turnaround. QUOTE I typically would mount all the parts loosely first, getting every part aligned nicely ( HX's, muffler and hanger). Then I go around tightening things up snug, and finally a round of torquing to spec. If you tighten the HX's before mounting the muffler, then chances are it will not mate up. After some heat cycling you will find most fasteners will loosen up. So you have to back anyways to finish up the job. Yup, I did find out that things didn't line up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . I guess I'll be loosening the exhaust bolts again to get things to things to line up so I can get the muffler on. I wish the muffler was supported more by the hanger than it is. Maybe I'm thinking about it wrong, but it seems like only having 1 bolt on each side going through the hanger puts unnecessary strain on the exchangers. The hanger takes care of a lot of downward force from the muffler's weight, but with it being fastened by only 1 bolt at the bottom on each side of the muffler, the exchangers would bear a lot of the fore/aft force when the car is breaking and accelerating.

Turns out I have a 1.7/1.8 style exhaust. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) Not sure how I missed that when I bought all the other parts for the backdate. Luckily I got it used and it wasn't too much $.
Off to post an ad for a 2.0 muffler... Maybe I'll have this thing on the road by summertime. ack. |
