Greddy EVO 2 Issues
I recently purchased a Greddy Evo 2 axle-back. I noticed that my muffler came with no instructions or mounting hardware. Did anyone else have this? Upon installing the muffler, after I bought some bolts, I noticed there is no stock hangar to mount the middle hangar on the muffler to. Am I missing a bracket? has anyone else had this problem? I contacted Greddy and have not heard from them in a week or so. Anyone with any insight I would appreciate it.

it should have come with a mounting bracket and 2 bolts thats it
no intructions. you have to mount the bracket on the bolt that is holding a large black bracket for your rear driver side wheel assembly,just lift the exhaust to see how it will sit and you'll see what i mean, it seems a little scary but dont worry that nut isn't tourqued to any lb ,just remove it slide the bracket in ,replace nut(use blue lock tight if u want) then use the rubber mout from the unused hanging point and TADA!

^^ i dont see how thats possible unless greddy changed the design. the leftmost driver side bracket is just to far(bout a foot) from the exhausts left hanger. mine came with a small black bracket/hanger for the oem ruber mount. you can clearly see it in my pic, the OEM brackets are either welded or riveted to the body also they are the same color as your car.

sorry bro i'm really pc ignorant lol my friend had to upload these pics for me and set up the folder then show me how to post them, i dont think i could do it again on my own
trust me the greddy exhaust has 3 hangers 1 next to where it bolts to the mid pipe, 1 welded "on" the canister where it hangs next to the bumper opening and 1 long one to the left, this one cannot reach the stock hanger(UNLESS greddy changed the design of their exhaust and made it longer)its to short by 8 to 10 inches. mine came with the extra bolt on hanger(inside sealed greddy box) you take the stock ruber hanger off the stock hanging bracket and put in on the one provided.
If greddy wants to be A-holes and act like they dont know or are not aware the design change, then as much as i like their
products F$%# them and go with injen or tanabe they have straight back exhausts for the tc if you dont whant the drift angled ones.

Not at all, the exhaust is on there very firmly and sits perfectly, even if you kick it it'll barely move ,it is fully floating on the rubber hangers as it should. Aligned to the bumper opening, just as "IF"it was on there when the car was assembled.
If your exhaust did not come with this extra bracket and the left most hanger does not reach the stock hanger bracket ,you received an "incomplete" item from either Greddy or whom ever you bought it from. i would fight tooth and nail to return it and get another Greddy or from a diff company such as tanabe.
check my profile, theres a pic of how the exhaust sits from a rear bumper view of the car.

Hey guys, i've been reading the posts. I have the Greddy Evo2 also and there is suppose to be a mount and i believe 2 nuts that are suppose to come with it. The hangar is too far to the left to to mount on the stock position. I'll c if i can get a pic up and you'll be able to see it or maybe find a good pic online. About the instructions, mine didn't come with any either. Didn't see the need for any because it's such an easy install.
