Fitment Issues on kteller 3"/Thermal 3"?
I need to pick up a 3" exhaust and am leaning towards the kteller 3" kit. Do any of you run this exhaust on a 96-00 coupe? Are there any fitment issues? Will it clear my rear lip?
same questions for the Thermal. I'm leaning towards the kteller b/c it is cheaper, but any opinions will be helpful.

Re: Fitment Issues on kteller 3"/Thermal 3"? (HKesque)
im running the thermal 3" turbo exhaust with a 3" striaght pipe and the Drag downpipe...fitment is perfect in everyplace except for one spot: it appears that my exhaust is hitting on my rear LCA when i take big bumps.
other than that the muffler and mid pipe fit perfect.
anyone else have an issue?
(note: it clears my comptech sway/tie bar combo)

Re: (HKesque)
I would buy the K teller kit.
I bought 2 thermals just this year. The first one (95 civic HB) fit OK , but the muffler came out the back on a slight angle and not centered on the cut out in the bumper. I had to cut and weld it to make it fit.
The second on an Integra was worse. It came out the bumper about 4" to the left. I have since seen Integras running around with the same porblem. After fixing the problem I have now told customers to buy the K teller , I was not impressed with thermal.
Some people are OK with exhausts rattling and not fitting, I can't deal with, it looks cheap.
