So ever since I switched to long tubes my catback doesn't want to fit on the car anymore. It used to be a pain in the ass before but now it's just unreal. It seems like the entire exhaust sits back further now, today I tried to install the tailpipes and didn't have much fun, I got the drivers side on after dropped the rear axle and hooking the muffler and tailpipe together and then lifting the entire catback into place. Tried the same with the pass side and I can't get it to mount up to the H pipe, it won't move back far enough because the pipe hits the axle. I mean wtf, anyone else have this issue with their long tubes?

Mine seemed fine too before I had the tailpipes on...

sure you didnt mix up which sides the flow tubes go on?

Yep, don't think the one side would have fit if I did that. Actually the mufflers were never removed from under the car during the long tube swap so they are on the same side as they were. Also the flow tube and muffler are all one piece.

My friend runs dumps on his fox and has had that happen a couple times in the summer. It's not real common though.
