It mounts exactly like any other AP2 exhaust. I ran one on my AP2, fitment was OK although the tips weren't perfectly centered in the cutouts. They were about 3/8" too close toward the center of the car.

I can get the tips perfect by putting a spacer in the driver side muffler flange. It's off the car now, I just did a test fit, I'm in the process of polishing it. Bought it used and it had years of crud and corrosion on it from the salt air here.

I got the AP1 tips to line up pretty well by adjusting the flange between the left muffler and the the main section. Painted the tips too to see how burnt Ti would look. The white header paint is to prevent corrosion from coming back in the salt air here.

Not to be a pain but do you have any from the side? Wondering how far they stick out (if at all) Other than that it looks great. I just need to decide between this and the Toda.

My AP2 Mugen tips don't go past the bumper. It is about an inch short.

It's tucked just a little more than OEM. I also have the Toda, it's totally different, a real beast typical of N1 types compared to the smooth growl of the Mugen.

I miss the smooth growl of the Mugen but I'm not a fan of the AP2 tips, seeing this pretty much seals the deal. Thanks!
