another delay. cat doesnt fit. anyone have a car trailer? i cant be f**ked with this thing anymore. gonna take it down to aaa and have them sort it out.

Fark man, you haven't had the best of luck lately

[scandyflick]

yeah, im starting to get pretty disheartened about it all really.

as of today is been 4 weeks since its moved (and has cost me over $400 in loan payments and insurance for the privilege, and the parts on top of that). im about 3 seconds away from taking to it with 10 litres of petrol and a match.

ive called andrew and left a message, im having trouble seeing how 3 components designed to fit an s14 dont work together. its doing my head in.

i shouldve just used the gktech gear. wouldve been back on the road over a week ago if i had.

I can understand your frustration.

What part of the cat doesn't fit?

[scandyflick]

the cat itself doesnt fit.

both the factory cat and the hi flow cat are approx. 30mm too long to fit between the front pipe and the apexi cat back.

[typevu]

Push it in, make it fit. push the catback out as hard as you can?

[TALBO]

Shit! I thought you might have said the flanges wouldn't line up

On another note, does Autobarn sell 3" cat gaskets or does the inside diameter of a standard gasket need to be hacked away at?

[scandyflick]

Push it in, make it fit. push the catback out as hard as you can?

tried that. even with the catback pulled back as far as it'll go (with ZERO play left in the hangers) the gap is still about 5mm too small fit the bastard in. add another couple mm for gaskets and yeah, shit just aint gonna fit.

[Ryanrb25]

got a welder? cut and shut yourself...its not hard.

[scandyflick]

negatory. no welder. hence the frustration.

[Madaz]

PLEASE dont take it to AAA Andrew is @ supercup today and will be more than happy to help sort your shit out

BUT sounds like the apexi is whats giving you grief, how is the factory cat 30mm too long i would of though the factory cat should be the right length

[scandyflick]

yeah, i left a message on his phone. figured he'd be at dsc. both cats are the same size (factory is a couple mm larger than the xforce one), both fit fine with factory dump and front, neither fit with the AM pipe fitted, the gap between the rear flange on the front pipe and the front flange on the apexi is 30mm too short, which makes me think the front pipe is 30mm too long.

im bored,

[Madaz]

ah well yeah wait till he can sort you out becuase you've paid for his work and now he wont rest until its sorted but if you take it somewhere else and they butcher it then you need to take it back how bad will that be

[scandyflick]
