I need your help guys, I just installed the Apexi WSII last night and this morning when I took it out for a test run I notice the driver side exhaust pipe is hitting the differential. What can I do to fix this.

Thanks in advance for your help.

happened to me as well. it's very very close. i just pulled on the exhaust pipe so it stays away from the differental.

Thanks Rominl for the quick reply. Is there any other way to solve this problem beside just pulling on the exhaust pipe? I was thinking about buying shorter "O" ring, I think that's what its call.

which oring are you talking about? the one towards the end of teh muffler or the one in the middle of the pipe (after they split)?

Lex2Go

The one between the exhaust and y-pipe.

Yeah, happened to me also when I got the WS2, I guess a design flaw.

What I did was go to meineke and have the heat up the pipe and bend it a lil bit away from the DIff.

I know the WS had that problem but I thought apexi worked that out on the WSII.

I took a closer look at the problem and I realize that driver side muffler is hitting bumper. The side of the muffler that is hitting the bumper is the opposite side of the exhaust tip, I don't know how to explain it.

i am not sure changing that one will help. plus that one is pretty specially desinged if you look at it. it's not just a o ring

nop, i don't think so. i only think they redid the tips that's all

let me see if i can describe it. on the driver side, if you look from teh rear. the top right of the tip hits the top right of the drive side exhaust opening. and then the left side of the muffer hits the bumper along the wheel well edge. am i correct?

i hvea the same problem too. i thought it's just my setup, but seems like it's for all apexi users. if you look at both left and right, the two tips don't hang symmetric

what i did was i shaved off part of the bumper edge (it's hitting the inside). and then i jammed rubber in the rear exhaust o ring and push down the tips further.

but still, my exhuast WAS hitting the differential on the driver side. i could see marks. so i pulled on the exhaust to get them further away

The part about the exhaust hitting the inside of the bumper is exactly my problem. The exhaust tips on both side are pretty much line up in the opening, its just the damn rattling from hitting the inside of the bumper is driving me crazy. I think if I get shorter O ring for the bumper is would help some of the rattling but not all. If that doesn't work I'm going to a muffler shop to have them take a look at it. Wish me luck guys, I never knew getting the exhaust would cause me all this headache.

wow, that's a pretty harsh fix

like i said, take a look at the "o ring" you are talking about, the one between the y pipe and the muffler. it's not an o ring, i don't thnk you can do anything about it

just do what i did, take a look at exactly where it's rubbing, and then shave off that part of the inner bumper flap piece. everything gone after that
