    Anyone else still waiting for their ECS Black Friday SuperSprint exhaust?

    Just curious who else might still be waiting for theirs, as I'm damn-near fed up with the broken promises.

    I just got the correct adapter to make mine work for my car yesterday. It was a not so fun ordeal, but worked out in the end.

    Yes, still waiting. My order status is now marked as stock received with a ship date of 3/23. I noticed that ECS charged my credit card for the exhaust the other day, but then surprise surprise pulled back the charge. So...hopefully we'll all know more on Friday.

    Received my shipping message from ECS this afternoon. Should have next week. Unfortunately I may need to go through this again with them on another part to complete my exhaust build...They seem to be the only game in town on Supersprint these days. The shipping delays will surely be harder to stomach at full price.

    The shipping delays wouldn't be tolerated at full price but at 50% off it's kinda hard to complain. Wasn't expecting to install till it warmed up anyway so I don't care. Just hope quality and fitment aren't going down the tubes as a result.

    After many months of headaches, I finally got to install mine. The fitment on these things is absolutely terrible. You'd think they could just make the hangers part of the exhaust, and it would bolt right up. (Like my Magnaflow) But, after a while of frustration and bending things, it finally (kinda) fits right. And sounds pretty good. Also had the same terrible fitment problems on a friend's M roadster. Even worse.

    I know what you mean; there's almost too much allowable adjustment. The hanger design is too generic and crude, and you're not even provided all the hardware required to complete the install.

    But, what on earth did you have to bend?!

    Thread: Installing SuperSprint exhaust on my M Coupe this weekend. Any advice?

    The answer to your delimina is here. Easy fix and as firm as OE mufflers.

    Have fun, I did

    Once it was all bolted up, the tips were crammed up against the bumper, with no allowable adjustment downward. So I put a pole-jack under the mid-pipe, removed the hangers, and pulled down on the exhaust as hard as I could. Seems to have worked. lol.

    I'm curious what they charged for an exhaust? I have an unused exhaust that was bought for a 97 2.8. Part number on it is 78.66.06 that I might sell as I have a 01 3.0 with a like new exhaust and I want to keep the car stock at this time.

    As you can see from the pictures, the stress of the muffler weight being on only one side of the OE rubber hanger will make it fail sooner than later. Thats why it needs to be supported from both sides which might get done soon. But not until I make a leverage tool to position the mullers right where I want them. I may open up the sides of the bumper cutouts by a 1/4 inch or so, not sure yet. The mufflers are firm in place like OE. Finding the 2 INCH square tube may be an issue as it comes in 10-20 foot long sectoins and you need a foot. I found a 3 foot long piece at M & K Metals in Gardena Ca in their odd & ends pile for $5.00. Cut it in half into a 1 X 2 X 1, drilled some holes, welded in the bolts, wired wheeled to clean them up, an old can of black paint on the shelf. and wala!! Better thana new. I cut the tube with the chop saw and If I were to do it again, I'd use the jigsaw, But the chopsaw is so much fun with all the fire and fury flying about.
