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?

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.

the body shop has already cut it... i will talk to stillen about the problem, and let the body shop to deal with it.

Thanks for stepping up Josh.

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.
Thanks for your reply, it helps alot !

After you fix your exhaust issue bring your z to the next seattle z meet.

Sure!! contact me if there is any meeting coming!!

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

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)!?

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

:iagree:....Definitely an installer error. Slip joints allow for plenty of in and out without cutting...(it's hard to find good help these days. This should have been a no-brainer)

They cut that **** instead of attempting to refit? holy crap, what a bunch of c**nts

Any Monkey can turn a wrench I guess

i've got a better idea. you've already forgotten the name of the shop, now forget about going back there ever again. if they can't handle a simple install like this without butchering it, god help you when they get to more...difficult installations.

Obviously Not Everyone!!!

Blind and stupid ones perhaps

Is there any way fixing it without cutting ?

heat up the brackets with a torch and bend them in the direction that move the muffler back some.

wow... this is one reason why i do my own installs...

There is no reason this should have been cut at all.. this is an installation error.

The slip joints allow for flexibility, and should be loosened and adjusted to bring the tips in.

Then the muffler shop should ******* kill themselves.:mad:

You've got to be kidding me. Totally unnecessary. :facepalm:

Let's hope this shop doesn't decide to get into hair cutting.

Customer: "Hey guys my hair is too long please cut it!"

"ok we'll fix it lol"

*cuts off customers' head*

I read somewhere once you tighten down those slip clamps, it basically makes a lock between the outter and inner pipes (bends the pipe). Making it near impossible to adjust? Anybody?

Harder but not impossible..

I like it the way it is, looks like cannons sticking out the back :D

Wait did you get this done at forged performance??? Sure looks like it. I would kick some @ss

Why the OP didn't call Stillen in the first place is beyond me. :rolleyes:

x2 :facepalm::facepalm:

:icon18::roflpuke2::roflpuke2:

I have found out the name of the Body shop , it is Bucky's auto body shop!!

and i just notice that my girlfriend went there before to fix her car and she pay 800 but

I think that says it all....

Or ramp it and do it yer self, save the $$ for more mods, if you where in ATX, I would have done it for **** all, I love car time.

Ummm, could it be possible they shipped you a G37 exahaust? I know when the 370z first came out some Japanese tuner mag just got a g37 exhaust and it was too long so they just cut it down?

Since I got a good deal on my Gemini I took it over to a private exhaust guy, he said he had to work on the drivers side to get it aligned. Does anybody think 150 cash was too much to pay?
