So I dropped my car off to get the downpipes installed, and when my dad went to pick it up the problems started to begin, the guy who installed it said it doesn't fit right but its on the car, he says its sits right up against the firewall and vibrates like crazy and any motion would snap it, he claimed the gaskets that I bought from zzp for extra money were useless and they would burn off so he just used the old ones and it somehow could damage the header also....



Could I get some installed pics of it on the LSJ? I honestly don't believe that something as simple as a downpipe install could give them trouble, they also said for a hundred dollars they could fix to make it fit

ZZP ******* blows.

Phyrric

I though having it professionally installed would save me from dealing with the little bullshit things when you install it yourself


These are the best pics i could get

I think whoever installed it probably didn't know what they were doing fully. Only problems with installing a dp is making sure there is no air leaks at either end (easy enough). Doubt zzp sent you the wrong dp. I don't remember mine arching like that, it almost looks like he put it in wrong (god only knows.)


it's hard to mess that up, but those pics suck.. take one from the engine bay looking down.

Phyrric

Like looking down from behind the engine? over the header?

I'd hope that wouldn't even be a possibility haha, Where would the O2 bung be pointing to what side would it be on if installed correctly

it looks a little close to the heat shield and I see it curves right.. take a picture of the o2 sensor and it's location. does it rattle? do you feel a problem? because you just said the "guy said"

from the rear of the car, the o2 is on the left, looking at the car from the front its on the right.

should be on the drivers door side completely straight pointing at the bottom of the door.

It's installed right. But maybe the pipe is welded wrong

Phyrric

I wouldn't call it a rattle exactly, more like a loud humming enough to be able to kind of like...feel it in your feet, its catted by the way if that matters, I don't think I could get a good pic of the O2 sensor unless it i could find it with a crafty engine bay pic, I only have a jack and its in the garage now, its curving to the right a good thing?




Thanks

That one is for sure cut/welded wrong. Looks completely different than this one in the cat area.

Phyrric

Oh wait I actually have a pic of it off the car too!, one sec

Phyrric

Well the cat is obviously different...but i don't think that's the problem

when I got mine I held it side by side with the stock one... idk man.


what problems are you having? vibrations? and it's not going to break hence the flexpipe.

For all you said it might be installed backwards are clowns. Really think about it real hard if it was installed backwards
