Have you tried talking to Stillen and providing pics for them to analyze what might of gone wrong? Either from a bad install or incorrect parts?

On the bright side... if someone rear-ends you, you'll exhaust will take the brunt of the damage =)

I think that's how much the stillens tips stick out. It's pretty hard to install a cbe the wrong way. Which shop did the install?

Josh@STILLEN 05-21-2010 01:12 AM

It's just an alignment issue due to the installation. The exhaust can be adjusted (ultimate reason is unfortunately each 370Z is a little different, and we provide adjustment abilities in the exhaust to compensate), but the exhaust is not designed to have the tips protruding anywhere near that amount.

Please feel free to give customer service a call at (800) 891-1058 for additional information you can provide your installer.

I'd hope that anyone reading this would always contact the manufacturer before making drastic steps such as cutting a bolt-in cat-back exhaust.. that being said, shops aren't always the first ones to call and check with the owner before making such drastic decisions.

Hoping this turns out for the best.. as you can see from another post there are a bunch of very happy people who have installed this exhaust, I hope we can determine the issue quickly and get it resolved..

I will call you guys, and talk with the body shop, too.
I know I have to responsable about this, but because this is my first car, I know nothing about it. And i trust the body shop. I have learn a lesson, and I also hope things will turn out better.

i forgot the name of the shop .. it is on highway 99 in lynnwood ...which body shop you usually go for??

azn370z 05-21-2010 02:04 AM

An exhaust is pretty easy to install so any shop can do the job. I installed mine myself but if i need work done I would take it to speedware but there are cheaper shops. I live near 99, around mukilteo.

Hah they look like a flowmaster kit that would be installed on a truck. That's AFTER you cut the exhaust(I can't believe you did that)!?

RCZ 05-21-2010 08:25 AM

Its probably a simple matter of going further into the slip joints.. should've been an easy fix without cutting..
