Default GHL Bullets Install

Anyone who has installed the GHL Bullets and had trouble with fitting
and/or alignment, please respond.

I received my 3.5" Quads and am having a terrible time aligning them.
Particularly the passenger side which is a good 2 inches from lining
up to the rubber hanger bracket because of what seems like an axle
pipe is not formed correctly. Also, if I force everything to line up
correctly to the hanger bracket, the muffler system gives less than
a 1/4" clearance to the rear fascia and the muffler to axle pipe is
noticably off center and separating.

I don't think that taking it to a muffler shop to have these pipes bent
is an answer either.
Before I send these back to GHL, I'd appreciate other thoughts.

The system sounds just as I wanted it to...Terrific.

...George

Sorry, don't know what to suggest other than contacting GHL. They are real nice folks and I am sure they would make it right.

I just put on the 4" twin GHL's and had no problems with the fit. I love the GHL's!

That's my old exhaust in the sig pic. Need to make a new sig.

Is it possible that the over axle pipes need to be switched (wrong sides?)from right to left :confused: I think I heard of someone else doing this and they then fit. Good luck.

I thought of this too. They would be way off if switched an besides,
the driver's side fits well, the passenger side is off.
Talked with GHL and we're trying a few things including a Magnaflow
X-pipe. Unfortunately LAPD is out of stock and will be weeks until it's in.

The GHL fplks are really great. I'm sure they'll get you fixed up. Unfortunately, the weather went to heck before I was able to get mine installed and I'll have to wait until Spring. Please let us know what turns out on this one.
