Default Exhaust

I picked up an MBRP full system turbo back "Off-road" for 300 bucks. I was pretty pumped, when i tried putting it on the bottom part of the down pipe will NOT match up to the upper part of the down pipe. I have a five speed manual, does the term off-road mean automatic transmission?

No that's not what Offroad means...

They should mate up. Don't tighten down the top half to the turbo until you have them mated up. Did you pry on the firewall a bit? Might need to.

I had it taken off and couldnt get the flange to mount up to the turbo so i had to take it off clamp it down loosley and never could get them to mate up... what does offroad mean? is it just for emissions?

Well it came with a muffler and two midpipes? maybe an option, idk, but it seems like the crossmember holding the tranny is in the way...

I believe offroad is no cat... Did it come with a cat?

You may have to twist the two sections whichever way to allow them to mate up and get past whatever is holding you up. It's hard to help people out on these kind of things without seeing what is in the way... It's kind of one of those trial and errors get up under there and start wrenchin type things..

My kit went in like a dream so a manual that is smaller it should be ten times easier for you. Maybe you should pay a professional to do this. Idk just saying
