need advise on new Exhaust fitted
hi all had a nightmare day today fitting this japspeed full decat exhaust on my 2005 wrx, took 7 hrs as bolt on turbo broke
first the back box hook was hitting the roll bar, so when the car was on the floor it was pushing down hard on the exhaust,rang japspeed they dant wanna know so i had to cut it off
next when i fitted the downpipe as you can see on pitures below, the steering arm (i think) is it to close to the downpipe? will it burn

Hi i fitted a downpipe to a 1995 wrx earlier in the week.amd it is a close fit ,but did not look as close as that,however should not effect the steering arm.The exhaust backbox shown in the picture has the hangar arm pointing to the left which means it is for a 1993 - 2000 My.What exactly did they say when you phoned them.

I would say it's too close. You could consider a glass fibre wrap, but that will take up the final smidgen of space, won't it?
By the way...Hayward & Scott have the same attitude. "Doesn't fit? Not possible, our products are always made correct." Once you've payed, it's an uphill struggle.
Roger Clark gets good reviews.

There's a reason why its £350 for an entire turbo back system. Copied design sent off to China to be made cheaply with no QC/ trial fitting work afterwards.
The whole website appears to be full of such junk.
It should be made "fit for purpose" so return it.
Either buy a new system that will work, but budget IRO £5-600 or pick up a good quality 2nd hand system for the what you originally paid.
