I just put my N1 on my 93 SI Hatch and everything went well, the only problem is it hangings really far off the back bumper, id say like an inch maybe a little more. I'll take pictures of it tomorrow. Does anyone know how to make it flush with the bumper, the kid I bought it from had it nice and flash in the pictures I saw... I was thinking maybe shorter hangers but that means they have to be cut and re-welded. Also there's a really bad rub right past the wheel on the right side of the car. I know its hard to help since i don't have pictures but ill get some tomorrow. but any help would be greatful. Thanks

Edit: Here are the pictures, not the best sorry.

get a shorter rubber hangers

BoostinEJ1

anyone else?

Got Honda

i used zip ties on the areas where the rubber hangers are to pull it up. kinda ghetto but effective

BoostinEJ1

Could the rubbing be because the piece of the piping that makes a "s" shape (for those of you that knows what it looks like) without the hangers is on backwards, I mean it seems to bolt up just find the way it is but we didn't really check the other way, just held it up and it seemed it wouldnt fit as well. If anyone could tell me if the longer side or shorter side bolts to the axle back part that would help. Thanks

Is it knocking on the gas tank?

oldbeefcake

turn the "s" pipe around, you have it backwards.

slowhatch4now

it does look like its back ward
too much scrapage?
maybe raise up your car if its on rightpeace

BoostinEJ1

haha thank you guys, i knew we should have takin the extra time to double check. thanks again

BoostinEJ1

ok well i turned the "s" pipe around. no more rubbing in that spot but no it sits on something else, maybe the gas tank... it doesnt rattle all the time, i can feel it every once in a while. now the resonator pipe sits extremely low and the muffler itself still is way off the bumper. any suggestions...

hey im probably wrong but its a thought. i know when i put my N1 on my coupe we installed the section right after the cat upside down bc it was the way it looked like it would hang but it wasnt. it hung really low when we put that on wrong i dont know if that could be the problem or not i cant really tell from the picture.

the N1 wasnt previously on a coupe was it?

BoostinEJ1

we turned the "s" pipe around and not it makes the pipe with the resonator hang really really low. i said it might be upside down but i dunno. it looks like its on right, the hangers are on top and it hangs down. is it possible that the hangers sit towards the bottom and push the piping up...? but then i dont think it will bolt up with the stock cat?

I have a Apexi WS and i had the same problem so i rotated the resonator pipe 180 and it tucked it in.

Try using Zip ties around the parts that dont heat up that much like that rubber area . i did it on my old eclipse it was looking pretty good when i was done. i say zipties

BoostinEJ1

if i turn the pipe the hangers wont work...

BoostinEJ1

alright im gunna turn the cat and resonator pipe 180 degrees and that should do it. did i have it wrong from the beginning or is apexi stupid and made it wrong... either way i hope this works

BoostinEJ1

well i turned the resonator piping up the other way as well as the cat, turned the "s" pipe back around and everything seems to be great now. no where near as low but still low lol. it still sits a little off the back bumper, ill fix that though. thanks for the help.

Got Milk
