If that's the case, should be prepared for that. Would be a real

get the longer DS in.
Depends on what length you get. I have read that you need to unbolt the tcase for the OE length +1 inch.

I had bought one that was OE+half an inch that, supposedly, you can install without unbolting the tcase, but stupid me ordered a facelift one which is too short for a pre facelift, I guess. I have a +1 inch on the way.


Here is my stretched out chain. It's hard to show in photos, but you can kind of tell how much slack there was.









And the difference between pre facelift and post facelift.
