I've got a set of CR sidepipes (bare) that came with my build in 1996. However, after bolting them up to the CR headers, the mounting points on the outrigger did not match up with the flanges welded to the end of each sidepipe (near the rear wheel fender openings). More specifically, the sidepipes veered in towards the center of the car and were off approx. 1"-2". I could pull the sidepipes out and they would bolted up, but I didn't want that kind of stress on the headers/sidepipes.

CR sent me a new set in 1998 that bolted right up with no problems. Came to find out that CR used a different builder for their sidepipes for a short period of time and the sidepipes were not built properly.

I'm sure they could be re-aligned to fit properly. Email me if you're interested.

Jeff.
