Has anyone had fitment issues with their Active Autowerke DP's??

Has anyone had fitment problems with their pipes? How did you resolve the issue if there was one?

No, it was a perfect fit. I've had it for a month now.

Are you having any problems?

Yeah I am. The shop I went to couldn't get one of the pipes to properly align with the midpipes...

need a picture.. was it an alignment issue or a gap issue?

the dp's can be rotated around the connection a little bit, and I bet your mid pipes could be rotated some

Well that's interesting. And you're sure the downpipe is sitting flush to the turbo?

As sure as I can be....Cobb Tuning in Plano is doing the install for me and they definitely know what they're doing, so.....

Wow that's way off! Call AA and see what they can do but this was one main reason why people go with ar because I have NEVER heard of fitment issues. The jigs they have make perfect replicas of the original time after time. I would be pissed off if i were you because it's costing you now more money since fitment issues are not the installers fault and they still have to be paid for the hours of trying to install it and now they have to put everything back to stock.

I had the same problem until I adjusted the rest of the exhaust a little. Figured it was just my car that had some slight imperfection in the stock exhaust and that the big downpipes amplified it.
