need help in trying to figure out what the problem is with this exhaust install; i think that it is the downpipe, but just wanted some opinions; i have a new agency power ti catback with a perrin hfc and a perrin dp; i dont think that this is a perrin dp; bought it from a member here, but anyways; the problem that i am having is the everything lines up good except the dp; tried to swith pipes around vice versa, but to no avail; any opinions would be great, thanks;

I did my install starting from the front and working my way back. I thought I remember reading that Perrin re-did their dp design to accomodate the ACD cars. Yours might be an older one.
I also had problems with my exhaust install because the perrin HFC had warped flanges. When I tightened them down, it would pull the exhaust closer to the drive shaft and the carrier bearing shield/bracket. I had to break out the "persuader" (5 lb mini sledge hammer) and hammer the flanges. It's not perfect, but so far, it's working. Check how straight the flanges are.
