anyone know the location/order of the extensions ? I think they go right after the cats but just wanna make shure. I seen a thread that said the order a while back but I can't find it anymore.

that's your sound problem. you can try a resonated x-pipe, but it's really because of your headers. really should have thought about the noise and rasp before putting those headers on

headers and x-pipe aren't the same thing. you can install the x-pipe and keep the headers and see how that is, if it's still too bad you can remove headers but that is going to cost a bit unless you're an able mechanic...you should really research up on these parts before considering installing them. did you buy your car modded? how come you don't know anything about the mods you have? or really even the exhaust system setup in general?

I was kinda confused when I was installing the exhaust today. I don't have test pipes so would it be cats>ypipe>extensions> resonators> mufflers? I tried it that way and it didn't look right because of that thick plate. So I did cats>ext>ypipe>resonator>mufflers.

Btw passenger side tip didn't line up, it needs to come down about 3/4" ima gonna fix that tomorrow.

that what i had at first time too. cos the flanges are weird if you put extensions after y-pipe. BUT, been asking people here and told me to go for extension first then y-pipe. otherwise you can lose torq.. but idk.

HKS replica Magnaflow x-pipe location. Replaces replica h-pipe and resonators. Will greatly reduce in cabin drone and rasp.
