They're both on there, it's streching too. I had a couple of the tech's I work with helping me try to bend the pipe. I think what I need is a tighter donut hanger, may that will pull it back a bit?

I should have taken more pics while I was underneath the car.

my exhaust came it.. haven't had a chance to install it yet.. some guys have said they got a sticker with their order.. none in my box.. can someone post a pic of it? what's the dimensions?

luciano

Got my exhaust installed, but my right muffler sticks out more than the left? wtf?

luciano

Man, I measured the tips and one of the tips is half an inch longer than the normal one no wonder it sticks out... damn carson sending defective mufflers i hope they have another one to replace with

I know that Carson said they only had the GS300 L-Tuned mufflers available and that the only difference was the length of the cans which make them quieter? I guess I was one of the lucky ones and got a GS400 muffler they seem a lot shorter then the ones everyone is posting pics of also the Sticker on the box was labeled “GS400 TRD Made in Japan”.

Its a good thing I own a GS400 to go with my NEW GS400 L-Tuned Mufflers!

luciano

negative, i might have the gs300 version but i have a gs4, they are both the same version and one has a longer tip, SAME cans

Slapped them on last night only took 15 min. with air tools.
The L-Tuned are nice and deep tone much louder then stock; until about 2200-2500RPM then they sound like stock.

I fired up the car with the cans removed and then added the L-Tuned cans, very little volume/sound difference. I guess the L-Tuned is straight through well almost it’s on a slight angle but not much baffling.

Can someone tell me if I can use an adjustable wrench to loosen the bolts (as opposed to a ratcheting socket)? I broke my socket wrench trying to loosen the bolts last week. I've sprayed the bolts with WD40 every other day for the past few days. What do you think?

e-man.. just installed mine and it can be a pain in the a$$.. if your bolts are rusted out you may need a breaker bar... best bet is to use a ratchet and an extension.. i ended up snapping one of the bolts.. also make sure you have the car jacked up or on ramps..

Hey Eric,

Not sure if you can use an adjustable wrench. I don't see why not but I would be worried about putting a lot of force on an adjustable wrench since it won't be a perfect fit and you risk stripping the bolt.

If I were you, I'd go to the store and just pick up another socket wrench. I think the size is 14mm. If you've been spraying the bolts with wd40 every other day, those things should come off SUUUUUUUUPER easy.

That makes two of us lol, I broke mine in half also, but I finally got everything done. I used a breaker bar also which made i alot easier.

Hey guys. I just went at it for about the last hour. Here are some before and after pix:

I still can't figure out where to place the jackstands, so, thanks to IAGS400 for his great idea, here is how I got around that problem:
