Yep, that's for sure. I had to adjust & reposition mine a couple times before I got it right. It was either hitting the body, or the frame on bumps & launches. Once I got it right, it's stayed put though.

It would be alot easier if I didnt have to fit that cutout pipe and could just run a single pipe straight back from the downpipe. Im just glad I bought my own welder, or I would be paying out the *** for this.

A half decent welder has payed for itself in 2 real exh systems, atleast judging by the prices I've got from local exh shops around here...
