alright so here is an update:
was suppose to have my Catback exhaust system installed today but to my disappointment the Fi front pipe does not seem to fit with the OEM downpipe.
It seems the end/lip of the Downpipe is too short for the Fi front pipe to fit with the risk of exhaust leaks.
The solution I was offered by the garage was to weld a lip that will extend the end of the downpipe for better fit. And that lip could be sliced off in the future if I decide to go back to the factory exhaust
sounds like a good idea but I'm waiting to hear back from Fi before going ahead with that solution. Considering on their site, the Fi exhaust is supposed to be compatible with factory cat downpipe.
any thoughts/suggestions?
went home with the hem exhaust
