Ill fitting extension pipe

  

0to300 -> Ill fitting extension pipe (12/5/2007 9:39:21 PM)

This is for 92 LX #15630 MF cat back
The passenger ext pipe is difficult to get into place and angle correctly to the factory midpipe.I left it loose,as a BBK catless midpipe was on its way.
However the same fit occurred to the BBK midpipe.
The Magnaflow extension did not want to mate,and had to be cut back an inch.It still does not seal well.The installation is being done by a tech that is knowledgable.
The drivers side was easy and took minutes.The passenger side is going on an afternnoon filled with cursing..another tech said he had similar issues on his car last year.????

I did,was told to take pics...No claimform to follow up on or anything.So how would this be dealt with if I got some bad parts?...  I have fiddled with it for hours,so has the mechanic. I payed a muffler shop to make a custom extension.He said he has dealt with many aftermarket exhausts and never had one so difficult and cranky.Now 2 clamps have stripped from being undone and tightened a dozen times.The right tailpipe hits the bumper and everything is binding at the moment.The left side is sweet and simple.I had other items to deal with so I just left it hanging for now.The car is stock.
Before I get into this deeper, I will pay again to have the situation re examined by the exhaust specialist and perhaps have the pipes or hanger re bent.

Now my Dilemna is that after noting that it wont mate with the original factory midpipe and then opting to go with the BBK catless midpipe is that Magnaflow will void and guarantee any fit to the BBK.

Its frustrating. I have pics and video of the install and will take more as it gets ironed out.The car sounds great though,and I hope to have the last issues dealt with soon.The car is not driven at the moment,so my patience is extended.
