Just received my Harman Motive Turbo back exhaust!

Very happy with it, by just looking @ it.
Excellent quality.

Will probably be doing the install tomorrow or the weekend.

I wanted to see those that have experience switching downpipes... Any tips?

all Ive heard is that it's pretty tough to get the downpipe bolts.

Any tips, suggestion for the install?

Thanks!

are you replacing the o2 housing or just the downpipe? The downpipe is fairly easy since you just need 2' of extension and a wobble. The o2 housing is a *****.

How do you post pictures, and I'll be glad to do it.


The 02 housing is staying as is. Only the downpipe, mid pipe and catback sections.

Here is a pic of the exhaust since the OP doesn't know how to post it. They don't make an O2 housing or O2/downpipe combo. The only make the downpipe which apparently is a downpipe/cat pipe combo. Not my personal taste but either way I'm sure It'll make power so it will serve it's purpose. Congrats to the OP, let us know how you like it.

when taking the hangers (rubber) on and off the exhaust, a bit of water makes them slide on and off easier.

Take the stock muffler section off first, then take the cat and piping off as one big piece.

Then take the downpipe off (the bolts have springs so you can push the downpipe around a bit to get the bolts on and off).

Be prepared to have to run an o2 anti-fouler to not get CELs thrown (even with an HFC as I found out this morning).
