Hi Guys,

I was trying to fit my down pipe yesterday but struggled to fit it as I could not get the springs and nuts on. :x

I managed to get one on, but the second would not go. I also noticed that one spring is shorter than the other. Is this correct and if so, does it matter which side the longer one goes?

Is there an easyu way to fit it or does it require brut force to compress the spring and then get the nut on?

on another note, the heat sheild for the down pipe was in a bad way. Instead, I have put heat wrap on the down pipe. Will that be sufficient?

Hope someone can provide me with a simple solution!

As mentioned via PM, the springs and bolts should be the same length.
