What, that they don't fit for crap and need modifying or the video. I got that. The part was sand/media blasted
to remove all paint. The B in the part was welded up. The part was then clearance for the FI exhaust. Once the fitment
was good, the part was repainted and installed back on the car after it dried.

My understanding is that it will fit. You just have to take a ball peen hammer to your FI pipes for five or six minutes, and also break off all the heat sink vanes on the right side of the Z1 diff cover, if you have one...

I just had the Motordyne Exhaust installed.
I'm guessing i'll have clearance issues as well ... :/

I was supposed to install mine awhile back and forgot the box. I've looked at it and it's looking like it may fit. I'm thinking that because the damned Motordyne vbands are capable of all kinds of jackassery in that area. It's right where the 45 degree bend out to the hubs is located. On my car the exhaust kinda hangs down there so thats why I think there may be some space. But with my luck I'll dryfit it and it'll look like a go then as soon as I remove the bolts it'll be impossible.

Take a picture of your exhaust and send it to me via text. I can look at it and tell if it will fit or not.

Old thread...but just posting a response that Z1 gave when asking about fitment issues with aftermarket exhaust...here’s what they wrote...

Quote:

Z1 Motorsports:
We have had no fitment issues as of yet with any of these exhausts. The only contact we would assume would be if the exhaust is not properly aligned before tightening leaving the exhaust being close or touching the brace however, as long as the exhaust is adjusted and installed properly you will have no fitment issues.

Thank you for your question. If you have any additional questions, please reply to this message. For fastest responses, please do not change the subject of the email.

Yep, Z1 is full of ****.

Z1 will never post my review. I e-mailed Spence on it a couple of times. Never got back to me.

It’s a good thing you posted your review up on here for others to see. TY. I was literally gonna pull the trigger on this before I saw this thread.

I have 2 of the braces sitting in my garage that belong to other members. Getting ready to mod them.

I ordered a brace from bell raceworks and they sent me one for a 350z. I emailed them to let them know and to their credit, they replied within a couple hours saying sorry and theyll send me the right one that day. Their customer service has been a hit and miss from reading their reviews.. we will see.

Got an email confirming shipment of the correct brace this morning.
