That exhaust is not going to work
if the hangers line up then the more you push out the muffler the bend that goes over the rear trailing arm won't be over the rear trailing arm like it supposed too

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
What are you talking about? Everything lines up perfectly and it wraps over the LCA just fine. It even butts up to the cat is the right spot. The problem is the flange.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
No, the tip is 6" short of the bumper because no one makes an exhaust for the sedan anymore. The bumper on the sedan is longer than the hatch so you have to lengthen the tip on the hatch catback. I'm not worried about that, I actually like it tucked up in there. No worries about the tip scraping. Plus it'll draw less attention to me.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
NA, the only thing you might notice about the tip being tucked back like that is discoloration of your bumper. I cut my piping back a bit and it looks pretty much the same as yours, but now the white is turning a little brown, lol, and no my engine doesnt burn a drop of oil or run rich. A little wax on, wax off does the trick to clean it but just a heads up for ya. I also made a shield to kind of direct exhaust flow. I will grab pic in a bit.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
I will be adding twin tips soon so the shield is temporary. I didnt like the thought of the exhaust going up and behind the bumper, although Im sure some still finds it way there. And i really should have hacked off that stupid extra non-stock hanger...

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
They come with brackets, and wiring.
The reason I'm asking is because I found a set and I really want them. How much do they usually go for?

Thats a bit on the lower end of the price scale I'd say, especially the $150 (for really good condition ones). Wiring is cake on that, no need for the oem harness. Last time I saw an oem harness for those, it had 2 relays, which is dumb, you only need 1 standard bosch relay.

Re: The Official EF Discussion Thread
Im not on ebay, ever, so im unaware of that pricing.
The thing I always see are knuckleheads who buy for cheap and sell for lots. They ALWAYS want something for nothing, but then go right ahead and expect a million bucks for everything they try and sell.
I would not be shocked if I saw a square set of yellow fogs, with brackets, oem witch, wiring harness (oem or not) go for $300+. Its either that, or get some other set missing one or more of the above, and in rusty/beat/cracked/questionable condition for cheaper and spending more $ or time sourcing whatever you need to 'complete' it.
