Does anybody else out there have a problem with how the spoon n1 axleback hangs? It seems that it is allmost too short to reach the hangers in the rear of the car, my current setup is as follows.

JDM DC 4-1
PBR brand testpipe
T1R b-pipe
Spoon n1 axleback

When looking at it from underneath it appears that the b-pipe is hanging the the proper location, it fully reachaes the rear hanger right before the rear LCA and it's completly in the hanger.

Now the spoon axleback allmost reaches the back hangers, but not quite I bought the spoon second hand and I am using the stock rubber hangers and the stock mounting locations(the barbed ones). I can slide the rubber hangers allmost all the way on the n1 and it seems like its staying in place, I grabbed it and gave it a good shake today and its on there solid, I just wanted to know if spoon uses a differnt set of hangers for their axleback, or if I sohould have another test pipe made thats a little longer moving the whole setup back and inch or so. I have also noticed mine hangs to the side a little, but that does not really bother me.

pic of it hanging on the car, I will take an undercar pic later tonight if anybody wants to see it.

 

mine has no probs what so ever... you could try adding an inch or so into your test pipe.... and as far as being out of line alot of people have that problem not sure why... i bought mine from chris93si and in the pics of his car the spoon was sittin to the left but when i got it, it hangs perfect on my car

are you using a donut gasket at the b-pipe axle back connection? if not put one in there it made mine fit a WHOLE LOT better.... you use the one from the stock b-pipe or you can go order a new one

 

Yeah I do have the rear doughnut gasket in place, I used the one provided with the b-pipe and axlaback. Thanks for the info on how it hangs a little to the side :D

 

Your itr sticker looks weird

 

Odd.

Mine was centered with stock hangers and T1R B-pipe.

 

Thanks a ton for the underside pics thk now I know what its supossed to look like

 

Just remember to make sure the hangers are being braced just like in the picture.

 

Thk, got tired of the noise. He is on that Fuji bandwagon now.......

 

yeah i was gonna say maybe its just on the hangers you have it on, and that itr sticker is Cust0m y0! :-)

 

That's the way mine always hung, just a little to the left.

Aww come on Chris, did we really need to know that about you?

It seems to be relatively common. I remember seeing 2 or 3 posts about it being like that.

 

That's because of the T1R b-pipe. Mine did the same thing. So did skafia's with his Apexi b-pipe.

 

thanks for the input guys

 

With a modified stock B pipe, Type One Header, and SMSP Carsound Cat, mine has also hung like Chris's, just a little to the left. Doen't really bother me. IF it gets to annoy you you could just take a hose clamp and attach it to one of the hangers on the right side of the muffler and tighten it until it pulls the muffler more to the right, or whichever way it needs to go. We did this with an exhaust on my dad's RX7.

 

Best to do with adjustable rubber hangers.

 

Crowbar will do wonders for that situation

mikehonda: who did his own and kepani

 

I was actually thinking of doing something like that to mine, bit I was scared the pipe itself would not bend properly and I would just end up creasing the pipe.

let me guess the method, crowbar in the tip and put some weight on it?

 

I had a spoon N1 with a spoon b-pipe on OE cat on my JDM ITR, it hung perfectly (the burn mark is from another exhaust that was touching the underside of the bumper) I've taken the N1 off and replaced it with a fujitsubo legalisR but it seems to hang a little low. Does anyone know if spoon use different rubber hangers for the N1 as these are the ones i used for the legalisR and it just doesnt look right in my opinion.

 

Spoon does not provide any rubber hangers.

Bend the hangers on the kAA itself, down or up accordingly. You won't damage the exhaust

mikehonda: who just got caught

 

try adding an additional rubber piece to black hanger on the right, then connect it to muffler hanger undderneath.. that should pull it to the right.
