Redline performance exhaust


Recommended Posts

So I bought a 3" turbo back exhaust kit from Redline performance for a forester sg5. Finally got it all together and the down pipe won't clear the steering linkage. I can only assume this kit was made for left hand drive vehicles. 

 

Has anyone bought a similar kit or had a similar issue?

Wutwutwut?

Redline exhaust had no clearance issues on the GC8. 
Thereby, it makes the assumption they know what the different dimension requirements are for different chassis models.
Inform them, that your downpipe is not fitting as intended, and cannot clear the steering linkage. 
Therefore they must have supplied the wrong one, and something something consumer rights doesn't work as intended something something.
Get them to send you the right one.
Clearer?

I have the redline kit and didnt have any major issues with fitment, from that pic it looks pretty bad..maybe give them a call and ask them about the fitment? they are pretty clear though about saying like get a exhaust pro to fit it as "some adjustments may" be required...

Their sg5 foz kit is the same as the v1-10 wrx and the v1-7 sti kit. Fitment is absolutely shyte. Give it a bash with a hammer till it fits

Yep, this. I got a down pipe from them that came pre-bashed so it would clear the steering shaft, now that's customer service!

If you want good fitment/any fitment at all I'm afraid Redline's cheap kits aren't for you.

I looked for a Genome muffler for months. Nothing seems to come up on trade me.

 

Seems like abit of a shame to hammer that beauty of a pipe in! did the supplier say their are other options? i.e if this one is for a forester and doesnt fit yours - maybe one for an imprezza will ?

Nah the dude was stumped. Had no idea why it wouldn't fit. I could have possibly looked for a different steering knuckle but thats more money and I'm not even sure what would fit. I wasn't happy to have to hammer it but I also wasn't going to call it quits after I was this deep in.

Nice looking kit but as said fitment is garbage, don't sit in the tunnel right. Looks like they were made more for SG5 than anything else but wouldn't be surprised if it had issues on those too

Do you mean more for SF5? I have the sg5 and it fitted well excluding the downpipe. That was prior to meeting mr propane torch and mrs hammer.

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
