any issues with vibrant catback for the fa5?

emile · 05-11-2008, 10:35 PM

got my system from corsport last week and im about to have mine installed soon and i just wanted to know if anyone's had any problems with leaks or anything. i plan on just having it clamped since my hook up for the weld is leaving the country for a couple weeks.

ive read that some havent had any issues but most have had it welded. any advice?

thanks in advance!

I'm just looking to pick up this system so I can't answer your questions, but did it have any dents or anything like that in it when you got it?

if the clamp is installed properly there should be no leak at all because i've had my exhaust on for 10,XXX or so miles and theres no leaks.

i have a small leak but its not that bad...for some reason i cant get 0 leaks but its not that bad but just make sure u have enough clearance with the bumper or it will burn the bottom of your bumper....but when its adjusted its great
