Title: Jap FC Exhuast\'s. Any different?
Post by: dthebuk on April 26, 2010, 07:27:11 PM
Ive bought an exhuast taken off a jap FC.

Comparing it to my old exhuast (from memory), the hanger\'s seem to be in different places.

Can anyone confirm if this is correct?


Cheers

The exhaust kinda fitted, I think the hangers were the same but for some reason the downpipe studs were rotated about 20 degrees different to my UK spec car, but hanger wise I believe they are the same for turbos, if its an EGI exhaust they might be slightly different as the EGI won\'t have a turbo to bolt to at the front and I think has a different cat layout, best thing to do is to try it and see lol although its the same chassis, so im sure it will fit :)

agree with mitch on this. Did you know that the cat has been gutted? Its great, means i don\'t need a decat!
 
hmm, wont be the first time "gentle persuasion" has been needed on this car :spank
Title: Back boxes query
Post by: markwarner1 on April 27, 2010, 10:39:51 AM
Hi All,
 
Please excuse my ignorance but I have a similar query; I have two used after-market FC T11 backboxes that need fitting but have now seen they are shorter than the huge originals on the car. Have tried a couple of local garages but they need what appears to be some extra pipework in order to fit.
Has anyone any thoughts on this please, or can recommend a garage that could make parts up? I\'m not really in the know on this but ideally need the backboxes fitting before I can sell the car!
 
Thanks,
 
Mark
