I'm pretty sure the Xforce logo on the xpipe should be facing up. Having it face down requires you to cut the brace near the back and shift the exhaust forward to keep from rubbing.
Yeah I was told about cutting the brace last night after I had everything assembled unfortunately lol. I’m going to cut mine today and I bought longer exhaust hangers from GrimmSpeed for a little extra added insurance.I'm pretty sure the Xforce logo on the xpipe should be facing up.

I just got done installing mine. It also arrived with pieces falling out of the split boxes but everything still was in good condition. I had to install it 3 times to get the fitment right. You will need to get longer hangers or bend the hanger brackets upward so that the exhaust hangs lower. Cut the top back bracket off and file it smooth or it will rub agains driveshaft. Finally, the front cross brace brackets were welded in the wrong place. They were about a foot off. Maybe they sent me a rwd version. I did not install the cross brace and it seems solidly attached. Ditch the cheesy remotes and hook the wires to a six way momentary switch installed under the dash. It works so much better. Make sure you hook the wires to a fuse that is only powered when the car is on. Despite the issues I like the exhaust. It sounds great!Yeah I was told about cutting the brace last night after I had everything assembled unfortunately lol.

Had mine on and off about 3 times as well lol. I ended up getting some longer urethane hangers from GrimmSpeed instead of that rubber mush oem nonsense which worked out great. Still debating on what I want to do about the wiring but for now it’ll stay how it came.I just got done installing mine.

I didnt have to use any other hanger but the OEM ones. I just made sure I pushed the exhasut as far back as possible to clear everything. The bracket on the midpipe had to be cut to ensure it didnt rub on the drive shaft.Had mine on and off about 3 times as well lol.

Made sure mine was back as far as it could possibly go with my trusty mini sledgehammer haha. I just added the hangers for extra peace of mind.I didnt have to use any other hanger but the OEM ones.
