Right away, I noticed it was exactly 1" longer than the stock cat, and there is no way I could use it. It would push my Fuji exhaust an additional inch past the bumper.

I put a T1R on a customers car last week, but he's had it on the shelf for a while, and it's the old style without the tabs.

Anybody else notice a fitment issue? I sent pics to the supplier, awaiting word....
I just installed the new one with the tabs. I had no issue with the test pipe being too long. I have the
J's 60RS on a 05'. The only thing i've been having trouble with is the J's hitting the rear subframe. But as for the T1R test pipe it just slipped into place and bolted right up.

I have an old T1R test pipe without tabs. It fits perfect. Are you sure you got the correct application test pipe?

I've put the old one in with no prob as well. By it's configuration, it couldn't fit any other car.

Is there a difference in AP1/AP2 ?

Did the J's hit the frame before or after the test pipe install, or both?

Kewl...hold it under the stock cat, line it up and see if it's longer before you pull the cat for nothing

If thats the case, I will have to find a welder to shorten it a smidge. I have the Fuji exhaust also.
