This was a 6 valance, and I had to move the hole slightly outboard and weld in a plate to cover the difference. I trimmed the Triad tips off about 3", installed the valance and outlined the locations for the holes from the backside of the valance. The exhaust is very well made, but it, or the car was slightly off on side to side height. So a slight shim on one trans mount, and a extra washer at the engine bar made it correct. I left about a 1/2 " clearance around the pipe after increasing the size to fit the A8 tips. The holes are not round since the valance is angled. Slightly oval cut. By the way thanks for your post, or the one you where in, on the Triad a while back it helped me make my mind up on what to buy. The reason I cut a 6 valance was it had been cut before to fit a 4!. Hard to think the PO did that. |
