RJC has one in the makes. May even be available now. I think that Hartline also had one in the works. I would think that both of these fit without modification.

I've got the 3.5" from Brian. Was tight getting in, had to change out my passenger side mount, but it fits perfectly, clears everything. Doesn't hit against anything. It did take a little muscle to get it in, but I didn't have to do any pounding of any sort.

I got mine from Jay's GN. I think he may still have some. If not, the TA Perf. downpipe is of same quality. And it fits just as good, and I believe they are ~$300, but Im not sure. Buddy of mine has one on his T-Type, NO fitment problems whatsoever. And its a NICE piece too.

I didn't take the front clip off to install the downpipe, I took it off to get at that one spark plug, it's a real pain to get to.

It's covered.

I think the worse thing about bum parts is not the money, its the time the car is laid up time to put on take off, shipp it back wait for it to come etc.. And you guys are really North... Now go and pick up that phone and give the golden boy of TB.com a call.. Maybe he will do right for you...

20 year old cars don't have the same body alignment as they did new. Also no two cars sag a like. What ever car they used for a templet was also seasoned. You guys are spoiled and think all race parts go together like a matching nut and bolt. You trash your sandwich because mom forgot to trim the crust. Either mark it up and rebend for clearance or send it back for a refund. But since you had a tantrum your out the pipe and money.
