Does anyone's mid pipe touches the trans on this one? mine, I can slide a paper through it and that's all the gap I have.
Exhaust purchase? ok or not ok

Post pics please, cause your pics will determine wheather I pick one up or not. My exhaust is all messed ands sounds like shit
While driving its a bit louder than stock, the actual exhaust note hasnt changed much, maybe a little lower pitched while cruising.
I couldnt really get on the gas much yet, just normal acceleration to like 3k-ish, that was a higher pitched tone than stock, I liked it though, nothing obnoxious, like a honda with a fartcan is.
When I get it back from the mechanic with all the pieces of the car bolted back on like the front cross member, then I'll be able to romp on it more. And take some pictures. I also hear the turbo going a lot more than before, love that hsssssssssssssssssssss sound
I dont remember anything sounding much different when decelerating, you need to get on the gas or be listening to it idle for it to sound different.
I also had a SSautochrome DP with a cat in it put on at the same time, I have emission tests to pass every other year so I dont want to be switching back and forth. So maybe a catless DP will make things a little louder or grittier sounding. :shrug:

My main concern is clearance with the front crossmember, does it fit ok? All the other 3" exhaust midpipes ive seen have a more "bendy" midpipe from what it all looks like.
Steve, can you post up some pictures of what your midpipe looks like going over the front crossmember? Thanks

I'm having this issue right now. I installed my motoria mid pipe and it doesn't seem to clear much. Right now it's looking like the pipe is touching my transmission and barely clearing the crossmember.

I have the Motoria midpipe connected to an ATS Downpipe and an HKS exhaust. When I bought the car it had the full motoria setup on it. That thing hit everywhere!!! It hit the front crossmember, rear frame, and almost touched the trans. Once I replaced the rear section with the HKS I had at least 3-5mm clearance everywhere. I didn't even need to shim the crossmember. Just my .02

If anyone is getting any touching on the rear section, it's b/c whoever installed it didn't do it properly or careful enough.
The imotoria mp allows you to rotate the pipe befor clamping it, and if done properly, the rear should clear...i've never had issues with the rear.
The front, you'll need to drop the crossmember or bang out part of the crossmember where it hits.
