Paying this much for an exhaust and they have users use "washers and spacers" because it does not fit how it's suppose to fit?
He might help as far as replacing the revised part..but it still doesn't fix the fact that this exhaust literally melted your bumper. Hope you get fixed up to where you're happy / not having to spend more money.

If the E370 was made for the 5" tip off the bat then for the ppl who chooses purely to use the 4.5" tip will have too much of a gap from the bumper; that will look dumb and dumber if you won't be able to adjust them to shorten gap since its "permanently" seated at that height. Therefore you would think the right way is to designed it where you need to add spacers to accommodate the 5" tips to your desire. Hope that helps clears some things up
Also Nepal, you said you did your homework and so knew what you were getting into correct? So why are you trying to d*ck over honest working ppl for a IPL rear when tbh they're not at fault but the installers error? Whoever installed it (not enough washers used to clear) you should take that up with them instead.

LMAO ok guy, the E370 comes with two different size of tips a 4.5" or 5" so wouldn't one think the E370 is designed from Motordyne to accommodate the 4.5" tips and not the 5" ...right?

. Just to make sure I didn't use my regular installer and went with Jotech. They have a lot of experience and paid top dollar for it. Went back Saturday to fix it.. he tried, trust me he did, but no results.. Now I have a 5" left and 4.5" left tip LOL. 
Again, I really appreciate your help. Please understand I am not trying to give motordyne a bad name, just trying to share my feelings. I hope that's not too wrong of me to do!? i love the exhaust, (SPECIALLY NOW) after it toned down and has the perfect harmony I was looking for. Took 500 miles to get there but I am happy it's there. Tony has a great customer service, replies to emails and answers calls. I am very confident that he'll think of a way to fix it..

Personally, I think motordyne should have made permanent tips, one with 5" and one with 4.5" and let people choose what they want. Obviously tweak the fitment according to the tip size. The screw on tips do leave marks on the exhaust and look tacky[IMHO]
First, let me clear some air here...That IPL bumper was a JOKE! I would never con people like that. I have spoke to Tony multiple times, he is very knowledgeable and helpful. Like you said earlier, [MAYBE] IIRC or whoever the manufacturer is, f"ked up the design. As far as install goes, all of the spacers were used. It was hard to fit it right at first but after an hour of wiggling it sat right. Unfortunately, the rubber piece was stretched out too far and it moved, thus the burn. It's purely a design flaw. I'd agree with you if it was just me running through this problem but one of the other guys (we bought the exhaust together, same batch) is having the same exact issues and he used a different installer. Does that make sense? Burnt his bumper too. Just to make sure I didn't use my regular installer and went with Jotech. They have a lot of experience and paid top dollar for it. Went back Saturday to fix it.. he tried, trust me he did, but no results.. Now I have a 5" left and 4.5" left tip LOL.

I'm just want to make sure others don't get the wrong idea about Motordyne since many others like I have had great experience with them in the past. You maybe right and gotten a bad "batch" and it's frustrating I've been there with the ypipe problem they had in past. Why didn't you go local hardware store and pick up some extra washers to fix the problem
They don't cost nothing more than $2 to save that bumper any further distress. Good to hear you're enjoying the sound at least lol

All I had to do to make mine fit was take out one of the spacers on the passenger side braket and it fit perfectly. To my despair tho... my resonator cracked. Had them welded 2 days ago. Hopefully that holds. I'm getting coils put on Thursday and going a bit lower.. Jesus help me.. ima have to come up with something to pull the resonator higher .. if not I'm f'cked! Wish me luck!
Will update some pics and hopefully some vidoes soon.

The E 370 is the most overpriced exhaust u can buy . First problem is the horrible fitment issues . Mine had the Y Pipe issue that Tony took forever the address and peeps was still having issues after it was revised . It hangs way to low . I mean low . If u r lowered do not by this exhaust . U also lose HP and TQ . My $820.00 Invidia Gemini mad more HP and TQ than this thing . Sounds great though . I also lost TQ with my ART Pipes . These will b up for sale soon if peeps are interested . I also could never get my tips to align perfect either . My buddy with a IPL used the 4.5 tips and it did not rub as bad ..

Thank you Sir!
I think it's the newer version/batch MD made. I've heard of at least 6 people with the same problem. You got lucky with a better batch. 
Thanks Maleed.
I half agree with you there NBS.
** Overpriced? - Not really.
** Fitment Issues- YES! we shouldn't have to go through spacers and all that just to make it fit.
** Y pipe/Resonator issues- YES!
** Lose HP $ TQ - YES and NO. Didn't make any but didn't lose any either.
** Hangs way too low - YES YES YES!! I am not even slammed and I scrape just about everywhere.. It's not my driving, TRUST ME! Talked to Tony and he told me to adjust the mid pipe for clearance but no Luck.!
I might sell the system soon as well.. I like it but don't think it's worth scraping everywhere and I am going lower on KW V3 this week. May be FI CBE + FI RHFC. Keep an eye out..

I'm dropped on eibachs and I don't scrape anywhere. You all say it's not your driving, but maybe it is. Drive slow af on bumps and be conscientious of where you are. And you shouldn't. My art pipes scraped once cause a friend drove over a bump too fast. I do also live in Florida where the roads are really good tho
