MySwiss how much are your adapter plates??
Also, if the Tial unit is completely welded into place, I take it there is no need for the adapters right?

The main issue with the 1 piece cross over pipe , is that it dosen't leave as much room as the 2 piece around the torque tube. So if your engine mounts are new or old, you won't get the same clearence.
Actually engine mounts have nothing to do with the fitment of the Tials or clearance from the torque tube.The torque tube is bolted to the bellhousing, which is bolted to the engine block, which is bolted to the cylinder head, which is bolted to the headers and finally to the crossover pipe so........ new engine mounts wont change anything. If it doesnt fit, it isn't going to fit by changing out your motor mounts.

Toddk911. That's right..if you weld in the Tial , there is no need for our bolt on adapter plates.You wil simply need the Tial weld on flanges (about 30$).
As for our bolt on adapter plates , we sell them at 110$, or we sell the complete Tial kit for 315$(shipping included in the continental US).

And a muffler shop could handle the weld aspect?
I know most ofthose shops do not like to even look at a car that does not have Cat on it, even if they are not working on the exhaust per se.

Just to be clear from anyone regarding misleading, i did find the info that i was told regarding fitting a Tial, but PLEASE, be reasonable and it wouldn't be right to blame the person for this:
I need more than minor mods to fit it to the early corss over pipe . You need to cut and weld to make a Tial fit.......
What i posted above was paraphrased and not quoted so that no one could do a search and start bashing. MySwiss, my apologies, it wasn't you
