Buschur Crossflow CBE install issues
I am looking for any help on my current predicament. I received the Buschur Crossflow CBE on Friday and spent all weekend trying to install it. As you can see in the attached images, the exhaust comes up about 4" short of the test pipe or the stock cat (regardless which is installed). The image of under the car was taken while the rod on the mandrel bent tube was inserted into the exhaust hanger.
I have also attached an image with the dimensions of the parts I have. I sent these to Nick and he confirmed that they are the correct dimensions. So either my Evo is 4" longer than every other Evo or I am doing something horribly wrong on the install.
I would appreciate any insight or suggestions as this has been driving me nuts over the past few days. Thanks in advance.

Your mandrel bent tube also appears longer prior to the first bend. It looks especially apparent when the tubes are connected. My straight tube almost hits the first bend, while yours still has a while to go. I sent a link of your previous post to Nick in my email yesterday, but he said the dimensions I sent him match whatever they sent you. So maybe an optical illusion?
On the bright side Nick has been very helpful with trying to get this resolved. Good customer service always makes things better.

In comparison, yours looks terribly too short. If you hook the hangers on the exhaust to your stock rubber pieces, and its 4" short, that is hard to mess up, and probably a defect in fabrication.

I did call Buschur and they told me that all of my dimensions are correct. I just wanted to check if I was somehow totally screwing up a simple install, which based on the comments it appears is not the case.
Nick did offer to weld additional tube to the straight pipe for me, so I wanted to verify everything before I put them through the hassle. Maybe my car is just longer
Edit: With some new measurements, my stock exhaust is 59.75" from hanger to flange, while my Buschur exhaust is 55.5" from hanger to flange. So confused if my dimensions are correct how everything is wrong.

The long pipe you have looks to be fabbed too short. You can tell by the mmartahus picture where yours is 6'' his looks to be 10'' on that end. Im positive BR will help in a hurry so send that long pipe back.

your dimensions are definitely not correct, they are short, look at your picture and pic of the other guy's.
the long pipe with the 100+% bent section that connects to muffler, the other end. if you compare, you will see that visually your section that measures 6 inches should be longer, perhaps the 4 inches that you are missing, ooops buschur

the best way to address this issue is contact buschur first and let them know your concerns..that way we'll see how they will work..but i'm sure they will do the necessary things to make things best for your exhaust!
