FWD Apexi Turboback Fitment Issue

[teklein]

Hey,

I bought a Apexi GT Spec FWD downpipe and Apexi N1 that was new and never mounted from a guy.

The downpipe bolt spacing to the turbo housing is off, but a dremel can fix that.

The biggest issue is that there is a 3" gap in between the end of the GT downpipe and the beginning of the N1 midpipe. I can almost get them to bolt up by flexing the hangers really good, but the 90 degree turn hits the body of the car in the rear.

Is there a piece to the N1 I'm missing? Anyone had this issue before?

Thanks!

There is a part that is missing. The one from the header connects to the middle part your missing and then has a like a slant that connects to the rest of the exhaust.
I guess that's why it was never mounted.

Ohhh. So it came with two adapters I'm guessing, one reducer to stock cat and one straight though to bolt the GT downpipe (which replaces the cat)?

This is my TSi FWD btw, ignore the signature information.

Not the exhaust but the piece to the right. Do you have that part?

I have a Apexi GT downpipe that replaces the catalytic converter, then 3 pieces to the N1 catback. A mid pipe, short section for around the gas tank, and the end with the muffler. From everything I have read it should all fit together with just those parts.
