First of all... very easy installation. (Just dont get your thumb in between the catalytic converter and the transmission... it will turn nice shades or purple).

That being said, I did the turbo back installation; did anyone else have trouble getting the pipes to route over the transfer case support without hitting it? After I got it all installed and where I wanted, I noticed that the damn thing was 1/8 from the support, the best I could do was to get it about 1/2 inch away. Is that enough?

The sound she produces now is MUCH nicer, :)

Nice work! Bet it sounds and looks great! Very sorry about your thumb! That sucks. I've never had any issues with the clearance between the t case support and the exhaust and I've installed several turbo back systems. At least I've never noticed any clearance issues. MBRP is a great fitting kit. 1/2" will be enough though. Nice work!

Thanks, :)


I figured it was enough clearance... will need to wait a day or so and make sure it stays like that.

Quick and easy install, maybe 2 hours (most of the time was spent getting the old one out, the bracket near the transmission was the hardest (my wrench was maybe 1 inch too short to make it an easy removal.
