Hi all- just mocked up a73' dansk replacement oe
style exhaust. Everything fit fine except right side
tail pipe...sits too high to go through hole in bumper.
Old tailpipe (og) was rusted but fit fine, tail pipes were
straight. I've double checked the engine and all mounts
along with the mounts for bumper, everything checks out.

Anyone have fitment issues with the tailpipes on this
exhaust? Contacted dealer, waiting response. Thoughts
and ideas welcome

Thanks

Yeah, I noticed that as in to make up for the offset
of the engine...pretty sure it was right. I'll try and post pics
when I get a chance.


Thanks for the reply.

Mine fit fairly well, the tail pipes lined up through the holes in the bumper. However, they were never really dead center in the holes. Had to tweak them a bit.
