N55 AR Downpipe Fitment Issue

After all the work of uninstalling the stock downpipe, I put my brand new AR in place and discovered that the transmission mounting bracket wont mount to the downpipe. Did any one else run into this issue when installing this downpipe? There is a chance I could bend the mounting bracket on the dp enough to make it fit, but I'm worried that 1. the alignment could still be off, and 2. I might break the bracket on the downpipe, and then have no chance of returning it.




Really frustrated right now...

I am sure you could dp bracket to make it fit the brace.

I ran into the same issue. Basically I installed the pipe on the turbo loosely. Then I put the bracket on the turbo, you can still thread the nuts on a little but dont tighten it yet. I had to pry the DP slightly over to get the bracket to line up with the holes back on the trans properly. Once all the bolts were started I tightend everything down and it basically bent itself into place. Once you have the bracket in place, tighten the DP Vband clamp first them the bracket. It will fit, you just need to "massage" it a little.
