My 3" SFR exhaust lined up perfectly for me. One thing that is different on mine is the dump tube from the Wastgate. Try to disconnect yours and see how it lines up. You may need to lengthen yours.

ps I hate it when my dump tube is too short. LOL

I only really remember one other issue with test pipe fitment. It was Tom M'Guinn and the flange for the downpipe was actually welded slightly off. Tim replaced it I believe. I hope you get this worked out!

probably better than it being too wide.

I believe mine is the same way. It is just a bit off.

I have solid motor mounts in my track car. I would not recommend them for a street car. Don't know your application. Just my $0.02.

The only problem i had was the downpipe hitting one of the balance shaft cover bolts. That problem was easily solved by marking the spot and putting a small dent there with a hammer. I always figured it had to do with my aftermarket turbo but I could be wrong. Otherwise I'm completely happy with it.

Yes, mine was just welded up wrong. When bolted up, the pipe pointed off to Timbuktu. The flange was just welded on wrong. Tim fixed it overnight if I recall and it all lines up straight now.

The downpipe also got very close to the balance shaft cover bolt, but I was able to make it clear (without denting) by clocking the turbo a little bit.
