Nope. Good fit.
Tips
Need to relo 1st O2 sensor harness connector from heat shield mount (I mounted it to the brake fluid resevoir. Also need to attach oil dipstick brace to the closet header bolt b/c it is also attached to the heat shield.
Thoughts
Tuff to say. Did not make my Apex Dual N-1 any louder, actually it mellowed it out, but it is still on the loud side. A nice low tone though. Maybe an increase in overall torque curve. Revs noticably smoother during low to mid range. Did not open her up yet though. I think it is worth it for the fun factor and the fact that it is a high quality product (so far).

My car is pretty new so the bolts came off pretty easily, but if you have an older car the rust may make installation difficult.
You loose low end but their is an overall gain. It is a compromise but worth it, besides there is more than enough low end to go around on the 240. I could have went from the catback all the way but it would have been too loud for my tastes. Kept the the stock resonator ( this is a MUST ).

It is a tad loud. I thought it would sound alot worse! However, it took some getting used to. I now enjoy the rumbling DEEP sound. It sounds like a V8 or something! Forget about any relaxing sunday drives now! :)
