I don't think that's the case as my OE cats were in the correct position prior to install. @craina I don't suppose you might have the pictures I'm looking for?
Not on hand no, and unfortunately it will be a few weeks before I could get them for you.
Was this set up from m&m or sold as fvd? Should be the same product but curious. I do know the folks at fvd in FL have been great to deal with.
On my 7-3 fvd set up the brackets that hold the side mufflers dont fit my motor well and i cant figure it out. New brackets were over $700 ea so i just made them work.
Sorry, I tried to get some pics but couldn’t get any angle that would be helpful with everything all buttoned up.
Have you tried mounting the muffler to check if it’s in the right spot or needs to rotate at all?
Also, suggest using gasket maker or something between the elbow joins where the springs go and also the mufflers, I had lots of leaks until I took it apart again and did that.
Finally, the clamps that go next to the X that connect to the exhaust mount cause a high freq vibration at ~3k that can be seen in the rear view mirror and felt in the windshield. I loosened mine almost completely to get rid of it and may remove them at some point.
Well, for a relatively nominal fee M&M is going to remake my x-pipe. I think I am happy with the resolution. My mistakes were 1. waiting a year to install this stupid thing and 2. going through the vendor when I should have just contacted M&M directly.
Silver lining: they sent me a picture of my old x-pipe on their jig, which appears to be an actual full Mezger just lying around haha. Pretty neat. Thanks everyone for posting pictures of your installs -- they helped me validate that I was not going insane.
