Default Help for rwd midpipe into awd
I bought this tsudo midpipe to go with my invidia axleback and I’ve gone to two different muffler shops and both of them ended up telling me no they can’t work on it. I was reading a couple threads by others and they said just the driver side needs to be modify to fit but I was wondering what exactly they do.Anyone that knows please tell me.

The pipe needs to be blend because of the bigger transmission box on the AWD. Let me look for a picture for you.

The last picture on this threat you can see on one of the pipe where they need to modify to fit the AWD.

Yup...that's the only part they need to do...If you are from the US...people usually get it done for around 150 to 200 dollar.

alright thanks I’m going Monday to another guy since he’s out of town and I’ll tell him he told me he might be able to do it.

I don't see how any reputable shop couldn't it. When I did mine they just cut off a piece of my stock midpipe.

due to most customers take blame on them, some of them dont want to do or scare of messing up thing and they have to repay, at my friend shop he scares like that, thats why everytime i go to him i have to be there and show them which Bolt/Nut to heat up or loose, they know what to do is just they don't want to be smart, mechanic is their JOB, we are just amatour

i think most of the time is they do not like to do custom work, the bending of the pipes is plenty of work, they make more from simple muffler deletes
