So picked up a really cheap, lightly used (not a scratch on it) Prima chrome exhaust. I can't get the damn thing to line up right no matter what I do. Spent 2 hours swearing at the thing tonight before I threw in the towel (suppose to rain tomorrow anyway)

Suggestions? Lay it down in the grass? Anyone have a picture of the mounts?

I don't know if this will be a lot of help but aftermarket parts do not have the same tolerences and build quality of OEM stuff. I have yet to install an aftermarket part that did not require a bit of bending. The sito exhaust I just installed needed to have the gap in the mounting bracket widened ever so slightly. I used a small pry bar to widen it and then a rubber mallet to bang it into place on the bracket and on the header.

Best of luck

Hello

Check the size of the port and silencer OD versus ID, the PX models have diferent size ports dependant on capacity.
