wtf? weird vspl kit defect?

i just got a greddy vspl fmic kit, and i have it partly installed, but one of the bends is backwards! maybe im just retarded, but the bend on the end of pipe 4 is going the wrong way, bending away from pipe 5, instead of bending toward it. im positive i have the pipe in the right direction and sequence(i followed the stickers) but the bend is backward. anybody else have this problem?

Could it be maybe because it was designed for Jspec cars. I know some things are on opposite sides so maybe that is the answer. have you looked at other people's pictures of installs? I wasnt trying to be sarcastic. Sorry if I came off that way.

J-spec would not change things.
Basically, the only major differences are steering rack and brake master locations.

The IC is dependent on the turbo and TB positions - both of which are the same for ALL FC's.

Look at all your pieces carefully, you could have a made an easy mistake and switched up two pieces that look similar.

I just finished Installing mine. It's pretty Intuitive If you Install pipe 3 correctly. I guess at your point - you've got probability working with (against) you. Sorry I can't post a pic.

okay, nm, i guess im just retarded. ive been looking at pics of other greddy kits, and it looks like you have to relocate the trailing coils. weird, it doesnt show it in the instructions.

I did not have to touch my trailing coils, you just have to relocate the leadings with the supplied bracket.
