Hey guys,
So today a buddy and I attempted the install of the test pipes from Evolve tuning... but we ran into a little bit of a problem. Yesterday I cut out the cats but I didn't have enough time to install the new pipes before the shop I was working at was closing. So I thought, no big deal. I can finish tomorrow and just drive home with open headers, very conservatively. I only live about 3 miles from the shop and I thought the worst that could happen is I piss off the neighbors.
So, I button up all the bolts, screws, etc and everything else that I had removed so that the only hardware pieces I had left were the 4 bolts and nuts that connect the headers to the Xpipe next to where the cats used to be. Everything was snug and the X pipe was tightly in place, just a section missing from where I cut out the headers.
I get back to the shop today and we start the install. The right pipe went on fine and we got it to the left...... and there was no where to bolt in the test pipe... on the right pipe, just like any other exhaust, it was just 2 bolts that go between the pipes. but on the left, there was no holes or anything to bolt into. Just a pipe. The thing that baffles me is that when I removed the x pipe, I know there was something to bolt into because I have the bolts for it. On the other side, there isn't any way for that part of the pipe to come off which is why I am so confused. It's not like it can just fall off.
