So I bought this exhaust, installed it, the axleback portion is rubbing the bumper, the mid pipe is resting against the floor pan causing a vibration in the whole car. What's the deal? Does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be?

 

thats wierd the mid pipe on WS2 usually sag a bit in the middle. i know mine does

 

yea thats weird mine sags also a little

 

Sorry I referred to the wrong part the midpipe does sag a bit. It's the b pipe that is rubbing the side of the exhaust "tunnel". Also the canister does notappear to be level when looking at it from the rear of the car and the tip is not lined up with the notch in the bumper. I will post pics up tomorrow so you can see what I mean. Thanks

 

did you put it in upside down

 

dang thats weird, I've never heard of fitment problems with ws2 and apexi exhaust!

i don't think he would put it upside down either.. lol

 

I wouldn't think so. The hangers on the b pipe, are more at the bottom of the piping. And it lined up with my cat so? Is this correct?

 

Pictures would deff help, pictures of the header from the oil pan, cat or test pipe, mid pipe axle back exhaust hangers body and hangers on the ws2

 

Here are some pics, you will notice the canister offset from the notch in the bumper, you will also notice a piece of rubber in between the b pipe and the floor pan, I put it there to keep the vibration down.

I also had to remove my stock sway bar in order for the exhaust to clear???

Let me know your thoughts on what I can do to get this straightened out.

Thanks

 

Hey 3rd picture down said a lot for me. Do this. Measure center of the resinator out to each exhaust hanger prong. And compare the two side. It seems to me as if the driver side hanger is out further than the passanger.

But that can be due to angle also. Take a picture from the front of the car, I want to try and get a idea of the header in refferance to the oil pan. Something up front is forcing the exhaust over. Are you still using the spring loaded bolts to mount the header to the cat? I cant tell by the picture but it dosnt look like it.

 

Yes I am still using the spring loaded bolts. It does seem as if something is forcing it over, but I'm thinking if it isn't "forced over" the offset on the can would be worse?

I will get another pic of it from the front of the car, and post it soon.

Does anyone have under car pics of their ws2 install on an integra?

Thanks ASIAN

 

Another thing you should do is contact apexi usa. Call in their get the name and email of who your talking to and send him the pictures

 

I contacted Apexi today, they do not have any of the WS2's in stock, they are going to ship me a NOIR replacement. Lets hope this one installs properly, I will keep you posted. Thanks for your help.

 

Pictures don't work.. is there anyway you could get them up?

I was just fixing to buy this same exhaust..

 

That's cool. Its nice to see apexi taking care of you. Good luck. When you get the old exhaust off take some pictures of the two side by side to compare

 

for apex'i giving you a replacement!

 

I am having the exact same problem as gravity73. Did you figure this problem out?

 

anybody have the pictures to see the issue?

 

I dont have pics unfortunately
