Default GHL Catback Install

I sent over a email to GHL asking this question, but figured I would ask here too just to see if there is any other feedback.

I installed the Quad tip Bullet Bullseyes this weekend on my 01 MN6. Install went good for the driver's side, but the passenger side at the connection of the muffler and the rest of the exhuast I can not seem to get it tight enough to stop it from moving up and down (the connection of the Tips to the Muffler is also good).

Does anyone know of a tip that might make my loose connection better? Or maybe I just need a different kind of clamp that can lock down harder which I would go and get if need be.

Any suggestions until Brian gets in and can respond to me?

thanks

BTW - they dont just look great I started them up and they sound great too. Great improvement over stock....

Default Thanks GHL

Well for anyone that may wonder why people buy GHLs (besides from the great sound) I can give another great reason - Customer Service. I sent an email today and they responded quickly with the solution.

Very easy to deal with and they listen to what you have to say before making a judgement call on what may be the problem.

I know I have talked to many other Vendors that blame me for the problem before even hearing what I have to say.

Thanks GHL and keep up the good work...

Oh I guess that would help. They are sending me a new over the axle piece because I cannot get the current one and the muffler to align correctly which is causing it to not sit properly when the clamp is put on. They believe that the current one may not be 100% oval (or something like that).

Like I said the driver's side fit 100% and I hard a hard time with the passenger side getting the muffler on the over the axle piece so this solution made sense to me.

I guess in a few days I will know for sure...
