Ok i got my used invidia in today, and i have some issues i would need help with here guys, answer them the best you can, otherwise im in deep poo!

1.The muffler (where it meets together in that Y is 2 inches 3/8 wide...is this the v2 or v3 invidia catback? THe owner couldnt tell me
2. How do you tighten the tips on the invidia exhausts, the right one is loose sorta, and i think it will vibrate when i put it on.

I really need sombody to help me out on these questions, i cant put it on till i get new gasktets ordered in, and i dont know what to tell them!

 

If the tips are the burnt titanium, then its a v2 or 3. If the tips are just stainless, not burnt, then its a v1. The loose tip needs to be re-riveted. To my knowledge, thats the only way to fix them.

 

Drill out the old rivets and re-rivet them. Do all of them since you're taking a few out.

 

fyi, if riveting doesn't work (i had to redo mine practically every month), you can get them welded on.

 

Easiest way to tell if its a V2 or V3 is the piping leading up to the mufflers. If they are a sleave fit into the Y pipe then it is a V3.

 

ahh, even better.

 

oh man this is the first time ive seen you post anywhere Wisconsin S2k. and now your FI. nice

 

you have to rivet the tips. you cant weld stainless steel to titanium.

after the y split. the v2 is all one piece.. the v3 is 3 pieces, the actual y, and two mufflers held on by clamps.

judging by the fact that you say your tip is vibrating i'd say its a v2. the v3 has improvements made to the tip not to vibrate.

 

Actually, you can weld SS to Ti: http://www.megastir.com/

It's just not quite economical yet to do it in this application.

 

i stand corrected. ..well in that case ..its not practical
