Okay, I have an XS powa downpipe and it came with a support bracket. A couple problems I had with installing it:
1. Should the bolts that attach the DP to MP go in with the hex head facing toward the front or the rear of the car? I had problems with the top bolt because the curve of the DP leading to the flange was such that it interfered with putting the hex head toward the front. But it also made it difficult to put the bolt there as well, because you couldn't get a tool around the bolt facing forward. And that was without the bracket! With the bracket in front of the DP flange, I couldn't get enough thread to get the bolt in. Which leads to...
2. The bracket. Where does it go? Should it mount in front of the DP flange? Between the flange and the MP? Behind the MP flange?
This seems like it would be alot easier with longer bolts. :x
Help!
