Hey what's up everybody! I hope everybody's spring is going well, it sure is lively out there :scoots:
I am posting to see if you guys think that these pipes are too close to the plastic and heat shield of the under-tray Initially the slipons didn't fit at all with the akra pipe. The akrapovic is 0.5mm larger than the stock y-pipe. The Graves exhaust is manufactured to the oem spec. So the fit was next to impossible.
After jacking with it for a day I got them to fit normally. The good is that they fit without forcing them and look somewhat aligned (I can see the left is a few millimeters off, but hey I can live with it.)
The bad is that both pipes are very close to the under-tray. On the right side it melted so I had to trim the edge of the black plastic. Also the y-pipe bracket that attaches to the frame can't be installed, it tweaks everything the wrong way.
My question to you folks, is the gap too close? I sure feel like I might get some melting on a hot day. In that case I will have to sell the akra y-pipe and get the graves. There are slight manufacturing differences between the two brands and therefore the exhaust and y-pipe don't exactly work together.
