Japspeed k2, opinions wanted

[350 Russ]

i recently perchased this exhaust off of a member on here and was wondering if anyone else on here can help me out, the person i bought it off of said it fitted with no hassle and went well, but im looking at it thinking that the tail pipes stick out from the back box at different lengths? so anyone on here who has this exhaust can you please tell me if their back box sits square?

[Beavis]

A well documented problem.

[350 Russ]

i know, but the seller said in the ad that it fits fine so just wondering if the back box does sit square on them?

Yeh that one looks fine... lets ship it out...

 

You should be able to sort it (but shouldnt have too!) by bending the hangers... only way to find out is if you take the time to fit it..

The one tip looks like it has been cut at an angle, the other looks a straight cut....

ill be fitting it next week but dont want to have to butcher my current zorst to get off then find out this doesnt fit

[BladesGrant]

From memory it always looks worse off the car as well because the backbox doesn't sit square when fitted. So when its fitted and its at a slight angle it improves it slightly. My K2 doesn't follow the lines of the bumper when you look at it on the ramps. You should be able to fit and sort the tailpipes but like people have said you shouldn't have to.

Just make sure you give the bolts a good soaking with +gas or some other penetrating fluid before you start attacking them with the spanners..

phew! thanks for that, i presumed the back box sat square on the car so was starting to wonder

[Husky]

the tip is cut squint becaus ewhen its fitted its so wayyy out that the tip would look odd if it wasnt cut.

 

my thinking is that the angle that tip is missing is the angle the whole thing is out by..

I am certainly not saying it will sit perfectly once fitted, just that it does sit at an angle. Mine currently sits with the tail on the left (as your looking at the rear) pointing slightly back into the centre and ever so slightly lower than the one on the right. I don't think only having the one hanger helps as this will always mean the right tailpipe sits slightly higher than the left.

 

This picture shows you how mine sit, going to have it sorted soon though.

Also its not touching the bodywork of the car, thats just the angle at which I took the picture.

[Digsy]

That's poor, mate.

[Husky]

[BladesGrant]

I might add mine has had the hangers bent and isn't that bad now!!

 

I don't think my kit helped with the look of it then either. Its a real shame as the exhaust itself I am really happy with.

It sat straight on Jasons car Russ.

 

There are probably pics on here of the car that'd show it. I'm not sure if he had to adjust the hanger much or not.

his ad said it fitted fine but when I saw the angles of it after hearing all the horror storys I started wondering! That's a relief, thanks stew

[BladesGrant]

I am sure you won't have much trouble mate. A little bit of messing and it will fit fine.
