2013 Si Sedan Skunk2 exhaust fitment issue.

[voodoo50]

I have a 2013 Civic Si with the Skunk2 76mm MegaPower RR exhaust. Now to be honest, from day one, I felt like the exhaust was a bit short. But I'm starting to wonder if this is an isolated problem or not? I have part number 413-05-6055. This is the exhaust listed on Skunk2 website for the sedan. The coupe part number is 413-05-6050. Anyone else out there with this part number (sedan) have this issue?

Did you contact them and ask if this was their intended design?

Yes I sent them an email today. I'm waiting for a response.

looks like it sits quite a ways back on the coupes as well. Never really noticed how far back it's recessed.

@webby ...Got a response back from Scott Torres at Kraftwerks. He said that it is INDEED the correct part for my Civic. He (as does the literature that comes with the kit) states that "some bumper modification may be required to make the part fit". So basically I'm left with shaving some of the upper part of the bumper above the top lip of the muffler so as to avoid burning the **** off with the exhaust heat. LMAO. I just can't wrap my mind around spending $XXX.XX for this exhaust and STILL have to cut the bumper... FML. I don't mind the exhaust staining, its the damn burning of the bumper that pisses me off. To tell you the truth, I really didn't expect for them to tell me anything different. So I hope this post serves as a "Buyer Beware". Well... on to the next problem. Thanks @webby

you may be able to bend one of the exhaust hangers to make it drop a little bit. I still think it needs to be like 2" longer or whatever. I can't believe they're ok with the bumper staining and stuff too. Sorry man

I have a 2014 civic si sedan and had this same problem. Within a week the bottom part of my rear bumper started getting waves on it from the heat melting it. The fix is easy though, just bend the 2 hangers on the muffler up and the hanger on the car down. It dropped the tip of my exhaust about an inch away from the bumper and now there is no further damage, and I have had it like this for about 4 months. I even drove 16 hours straight with it.
