Default Tial 38mm install.

Hello,

I was about to purchase from Europartsect.com but wondered what it meant when it said " might need muffler shop to install w/ single piece crossover pipe "which is what I have.

Can you install a Tial 38mm on a stock system?

Do a search lots of info about guys doing install on older version with one piece crossover pipe. Some say it fits, but very tight to torque tube. Two piece not a problem have it on my car.

It can be a tight fit with the upper port possibly bumping against the torque tube. Sam Grant found a good solution. Try dropping him a PM.

Use a small 1/8 NPT 90 degree elbow in place of the top banjo fitting. This gave me the clearance I needed for the torque tube but it also took tightening each bolt on the adapters 1 by 1 s l o w l y as it was a bit of struggle to get it to line up. The x-over pipe and wg dump were both stressed but Im sure after it was heated up a few times it was ok. Been on fine for prob 3-4 years now but I still would suggest updating your car to the two piece. I finally have one and when its apart its going in...G/L
