full delkevic exhaust

[outback_imp]

Outback - I had the same issues with fitment. It was not great. I actually didn't even bolt up the mid pipe because the pipe was too short to connect to the collector with the bolt in. I think another member fab'd up a bracket to get it to work.

Basically, these are your options:
1. Bolt everything up how it's designed and risk an exhaust leak between the mid pipe and the collector because the pipes are too short.
2. Install everything without the mid pipe bolted up (You will see the mid pipe bracket about an inch in front of the CB bracket)
3. Fab up a custom bracket to get the mid pipe to bolt up with all the pipes in their proper places.

This is just what we have to deal with when we buy the cheapest exhaust.

thanks , Yep, just what i said to myself. Damm aftermarket parts! lol I tightened the head nuts down a little bit and it did seem to help a little bit but just mocking it up to see where to put the bung for the auto tune right now. Need to get some exhaust sealant for the head pipes and stick the collector back on with the springs and then tighten down and see where its at. and make a little bracket like you did.

Screw that id call delkevic and tell them it doesn't fit.

Is it possible its for a different model year or trim?

No im pretty shore i ordered the right one. Same little issue others have had with them.

Oof. I went through this, and I had to do it twice! First I installed my delkevic end can on my stock headers, which took a very long time. Lots of "massaging and wiggling" as others have said. Then I had to take it off and do it again when I got my titanium headers. That was actually easier believe it or not. I did, however have a big problem with the clamp loosening and the muffler spinning on the pipe which caused me to go through two sets of carbon crush gaskets before Ordering one size smaller from delkevic and MASSIVELY torquing the clamp on with a hex head bolt and socket. After that everything was peachy but it was definitely an ordeal.

Tldr: you're not alone.

yep kinda did the same thing, i noticed when i pulled it back apart after installing the muffler to the stock head pipe, I had stripped the threads on the clamp, so i ordered a stronger one from dennis kerk, and those slippery crush gaskets dont help. I think i will drill a little hole and put a screw so the centerstand doesnt whack it out of shape over time hitting the stop. and im not checking to see if it has moved every time i get off of it.
