    I hope they have been informed of these issues and and are working towards a fix for the issues.
    Their headers fit like a glove.

    Every single car is a "little" different. When you add all of thise little differences up, it is pretty much impossible to get everytyhing to fit perfectly as a mail order kit.

    Personally, our shop likes their products and compared to what is out there the products are top notch.

    Bottom line, not impressed for something that should be fine tuned after so long. I saved a long time for this and I'm happy with the end results, but I would not hesitate to give others a heads up. Let me also reiterate that this applies to the cat back only as the headers were a piece of cake and of great quality.

    So, reviving a bit of a dead thread, I ran into a few of the same issues with their 98-02 catback on my grand marquis. I did manage to get most of it adjusted in the end, and I get SW is a vendor here, so I don't want to sound like I'm bashing them, but my experience was quite different than what I'd expected from various forum posts.

    My tip hangars were too short, so they wound up hugging up against the bumper cover. The other part of the tip hangar had to be cut so it didn't hit up against the frame. Also, my drivers side over axle pipe was definitely a tight fit around the watts link. It was hitting the watts link/gas tank originally, I disassembled the catback, reassembled, and wound up with about half an inch of clearance.

    Overall, the quality of the kit was pretty good, but there are a number of little tolerance issues that could've been sorted out.
