Hey guys, need some help.
Tried to install my 3" Stainless XForce system yesterday and ran into some problems. I removed the divider from the elbow as my turbo has its own divider but then i am left with two holes so i pluged them with the divider's bolts.
It seems to fit, one of the bolts is very close to the turbine's divider.
Also the top left bolt hole is blocked by the wastegate pipe.
When i tried to bolt the elbow on, the bolts (from the old elbow) wouldnt screw all the way in. I looked at the old elbow and noticed it has a thicker mounting plate than the XForce.
So i tried to use my old elbow but then the engine pipe (the one that connects the elbow to the cat) couldnt be mounted to the body as the 2 bolts are welded to the original exhaust.
I painfully reinstalled the original exhaust.
To sum it up
1. Has anyone installed one of these systems
2. Are they supposed to come with a bag of nuts and bolts
3. How can you use the top left bolt hole if the bolt doesnt fit or do you not need to use all the holes
4. Am i supposed to use washers to space out the turbo bolts (if using the original bolts)
