Default HELP!!!! Mugen Exhaust

I've installed the B-pipe and just have the muffler to put on..
I can't seem to get enough clearance !
How do I put this on? I tried taking off my rear wheel, took off the rear sway bar and dropped the suspension a little by taking off the lower shock bolt.. No luck.. I have no idea to take off the bumper either.. HELP! Please...


My AOL AIM screen name is Arren123 .. I'll be checking it frequently
Thanks

hrm, i didnt even have this much trouble with my n1. i never installed a mugen, and never have had that much trouble, but since you already took off some of the sus, i guess you could totally drop your control arm, and then hook the exhaust up.

maybe try wiggling it from diff angles before going as far as to drop the arm. i remember the n1 i had was for an ls, and they didnt compensate for the bigger control arm, so i really had to fight it in, but i didnt have to remove any sus parts. good luck.

That should do it.

Patience is a virtue.

Thanks guys! Lowering the LCA did the trick! Alot of my time was wasted cranking bolts though.. sigh.. when will an install ever be easy?!

The last mods for me to do are the strut bars and the sway bars.. and I KNOW that will be easy enough (i dunno about the front sway bar though).. So I'll have my day... Bahahhhhhaaaa...

It may have been because you didn't have the mugen lowdowns? There was no way it was getting past the LCA without dropping it. The flange would hit the hanger under the car, and I couldn't bend them..
