Yes, I spoke to a Dinan tech. If you’re doing both the resonator delete and the muffler they are designed to mate up. So you just need to cut the OEM exhaust ahead of the resonator - so two cuts, one for each pipe. Same thing if you’re doing just the muffler, except the cuts are after the resonator. The tricky one is doing just the resonator because you need to do four cuts. |
Ya sorry I found this out after watching some YouTube videos. It's semi DIY. Just need to measure and cut. But I'll be taking to an exhaust shop nonetheless. Truth is the x pipe is on back order so I'm thinking of just going with a straight pipe sometime this week as I'm off work. Then if I don't like it then once the x pipe arrives I'll just have that put on. Otherwise I'll cancel the order or just sell.
