BEGi-S downpipe problem
a couple problems trying to install this downpipe, first problem, cant get the damn thing bolted up the turbo, (seems to be hitting every part of the body) 2nd problem, the exit flange does NOT mate up the the catalytic converter (bolt holes are WAY off). So basically I am screwed, I either have to have a test pipe made up, or have someone re-weld the flange on the downpipe, that is...IF I ever get it on.
any one else have problems? or suggestions..
..this is the upgraded stainless non seperate gases downpipe on a 1994.

Had the exact same problem on my S kit but with the base downpipe. Called Corky and he said they'd fix it no problem.
PS. your name is Merlin? or is that some kind of nickname? The only Merlin I know of could fix that dp with a wave of his wand. Get on it.

You'll get there, man... But remember, even though you're installing a kit which is supposed to "drop" in, you're still making a significant modification to your car by turbo'ing it. Another thing to remember: our cars vary dimensionally from one car to another, and sometimes a lot. So even if your parts are fabbed to nominal dimensions, it's normal to expect some variation in fitment. Therefore, it's normal to expect that you'll have to cut studs to length, massage some sheetmetal in the engine bay, grind a little here and there, maybe show the car some hammer-time, etc. And if it's WAY off, Bell will handle it. Yeah, it sucks to ship parts back and forth and yeah it sucks to be non-op for a while but remember what you're doing to your car; this isn't a timing belt change-out or a new clutch install...
