Help! Exhaust Doesn't Fit

851 Views 15 Replies 15 Participants Last post by  miles87
I just got my Greddy SP2 in the mail today... I drive a base 2005 auto RSX. After two hours I finally got the rusty stock bolts and went to install the new cat back. It took me only a few minutes to realize it doesn't fit! With the resonated pipe on the correct rubber hanger the pipe is too short (about 4 or 5 inches) to bolt to the stock cat! I have stock headers and cat. I called clubrsx (where I ordered it from) and they told me to email pictures of the box. The tell me they sent me the correct part number... They said that there is a slight possibility that greddy accidentally put a type s the box I received... What is going on here? Am I an idiot? Is this a type s exhaust? Thanks in advance!

its a type s send it back and have them send u the right one or get an adapter
Ya its for a Type S.
Just order the Greddy Adaptor piece for 30-40 bucks and use the S catback.
Gives you more options later down the line if you ever decide to do a race header or a Type S header/cat swap.

EDIT:
Nevermind- apparently Greddy discontinued the adaptor about a year ago.
Either ship the exhaust back and get the base one or go to an exhaust shop and have them custom make you an adaptor.
or by a DCRH for a Type-S and call it a day.
or just ship it back to crsx and have em send you the right one.
thats alot of wasted time, just go get an exhaust shop to make one or buy a race header.

yup you're an idiot, sorry u gave us that option.
jk..lol
all i can say is if it doesn't fit, you must aquit!, send it back
if he gets a type s aftermarket race header, he should be good.

^^^^BOom money in the Bankkkkkkkk!!
Get better gains with that setup
yea dude, everyone already covered that you got the wrong exhaust -- good luck with getting the right one man, hope all works out.
buy the adapter and take the hit...
Just buy the adaptor or have clubrsx send you a return shipping label because shipping on that exhaust will suck because its an oversized box so its gonna be expensive. I would probably get an adaptor.
that sucks bro..just get the adapter
