    Exhaust fitment problems

    Still running the EFI on the car, so by the sound of it I need to adapt the pipe and keep the loop. That makes my life more interesting.

    Exhaust fitment problems

The front bar hits the AAC valve or part of the wiring loom if I turn the brackets the other way, I’ll have to look rerouting some items and try again. The rear one bent the mounting brackets a little bit when mounting them, but...
