Skunk2 catback with weapon r header question

xBrnurshpsx · 06-12-2011, 07:43 PM

Does anyone else have this set up for the r18 and have fitment issuses?

Both of these pictures are of the downpipe.

So I was thinking that I could put a piece of rubber in between the pipe and the bolt/ steel cable. But then I realized that instead of just having them rattle up against each other, the shaking would be transfered between the two. Would that cause damage to either part you think?

So this is my temp. ghetto solution. I still could really use some advice on how to permanently fix this..

im not familiar with the R18 but you could probably bend the hangers a little at a time and get yourself where you want to be.

Is there anyway to bend the hangers with out heating them up? Maybe a vice or something?

for the bolt head thats touching, i would grind down some of the head to create more clearance. but leave enough so that the bolt could still come out in the future.
For more clearance in general, I would loosen everything up from the motor down to were it bolts to the midpipe. retighten everything and try and reposition it for more clearance.
Hope that helps.
