before you install it, measure the length.
you dont want to take off your stock header, install the r*side header and find out that you're 6 inches short on the exhaust.

These are a perfect fit on the RD stock exhaust.

If you don't believe me, ask wattsup.

s'all good^ that's why I posted it, so you guys could get a good laugh..it even says that in my post.

Not my fault stupid MBRP fart cannons fall apart whenever they feel like it.

Anyways, I have r-side 421's and no problem. But it's always good to measure.

Another misfortune to laugh at Patreezy's expense:
When i got the MBRp from Chris the damn exhaust was about 6 inches short from the resonator to the mid-pipe. Yeah, someone hacked it off a lil' too short. Luckily I was close to an exhaust shop and I, yes I'll admit it, went dumpster diving for the perfect sized SS tubing. It was already wider at the inlet which made for easier welding. Good find, lucky i didn't have to drive muffler-less. Oh well, guess it caught up with me, lmao.

Measure! Measure again! and then install.

Ran into a problem.

The pipe that I got is a straight pipe and the exhaust is set at a different angle?

It doesn't seem like there's anything we can do about this.

I need a quick response

All of it.

Bad luck with a header again.

This is ridiculous. I've been waiting since the beginning of July for a header and now this one doesn't even align with the stock exhaust pipe at all.

you probably need the flex pipie with the header. aftermarket headers need a shorter flex pipe, because they extend further back.

Well I think I was basically scammed.. but I'm not gonna jump to conclusions

7 hours and several different exhaust shops.

This is a header off an Elantra and it does not seem to fit the stock exhaust on an RD2.

I will be selling this header for best offer soon, unless anyone else can help me out.
