Whaddap, I got the greddy sp2 on my 98, and the tip sticks out alot more then I like it to.


I was thinking to cut about 1.5 inches of the tip right behind the muffler and weld it back on. Question is how safe is this to do. I payed alot for the exhaust and dont want to **** it up. Also how much can someone possibly charge to cut 1.5 inches off and weld it back on?

Next the other problem about the sp2 is how low the b-pipe hangs....

I've read up on some things and about the only way I found to raise it is to get some stiff exhaust hangers.... I went to some local performance shops and they do not sell anything but stock exhaust hangers... Anyone know where I can buy stiffer then stock ones so that it holds the exhaust a bit higher?

Thanks for any input,

Matt

 

Not much you can do get some hoseclamps and put them around the rubber hangers and tighten it up that should pull it up some but I dont know if it will be enough to notice a difference.

 

GReddy doesn't fit that great...

/thread

 

yup the hoseclamp mod will probably work a little. Also I really do not recommend cutting and rewelding the tip back on.

 

why dont u recommend cutting and rewelding the tip.. it sticks out so much it really bothers me.

 

Hey Matt, go down to Dino's Muffler Shop over on Harlem Ave. & see what they can do! I hear that's where alot of people get there exhaust's done in Chicago.

 

I would cut somewhere else, maybe on the b-pipe.

 

I just installed the SP2 on my 98 max.

The only issue I have is the o2 sensor sits really low to the ground.




And my exhuast tip

 

whaaaaaaaaat.... what happened to the tip bro.. ur gonna melt the bumper

 

LOL

I know, I am going to put somemore hose clamps on it tommorow and get my bumper cut a little.

 

my sp2's b-pipe hangs low too...but it's not really a problem for 2 years

 

So much for quality control at Greddy.
Fitment, O2 placement and length are way out of control. Looks like crap.

 

My budget b-pipe hits my axel now. I need to do something quick to fix it. There shouldn't be a problem with cutting the b-pipe a little and then re-welding. That's the only way my b-pipe fit my car right.

 

I would not recommend cutting anything. My exhaust used to sit perfectly flush witht eh bumper. However, my b-pipe was hitting when i would go through bumps or railroad tracks. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. All eaftermarket exhausts, don't always fit right. I've seen a couple of other SP2's fitting the same way.........

 

Ok, I only drove 50 miles with my SP2 and the **** is melting my bumper. I did the hose clamp mod, and it helped a little bit. But its still too close to the bumper. Is there any other way?
I started to hack up the melted bumper, but I don't want to get too carried away.

 

My bpipe hangs low. The exhaust shop and I took a look at how we could maybe get it to sit somewhat higher. We kind of piveted the bpipe where it connects to the cat. It still sits low, but with my drop I haven't had any problems with it scraping anything.

It seems GReddy only built the SP2 for 95-96 years, it always seems the 97-99s have the major issues with the SP2s.

 

So much for getting the greddy....now back to looking. I'm starting to feel the Budget y/b and HKS axleback. Keep posted if you guys figure out a good way to fix the sp2

 

Wow thats off by alot

 

man i was thinking of getting it too anyone suggest other better exausts
