Well to make a long story short I bought the car from a kid who had no idea what he was doing but bought all the right parts.

The s13 coupe has a rb25 with Syko mounts and a r32 crossmember. Everything went together ok except this exhaust and downpipe do not fit correctly. I don't know if its possible that this is for a s14 but the angle of the dp installed with the Syko elbow looks like this. Is this right? Sure doesn't seem like it to me. Tried installing the exhaust it came with and that appears to be correct for the s13 with the hangers all lining up but the dp throws everything way off. Has anyone else had these issues?

Why did you use an R32 crossmember? I'm pretty sure you're supposed to use an R33 crossmember. Maybe the engine isnt sitting flatly in place and is tilted back some? Take a picture of the engine bay and the elbow/DP from the engine bay. Also, what downpipe are you using? Supposed to use an SR elbow...

My mistake I meant r33 and did some research it looks like it's a isis dual tip exhaust. i noticed they sell a similar exhaust elbow like syko's elbow for the rb25. r people using these on rb25 swaps?
