quick question regarding exhaust tips

darthanakin23 · 07-24-2010, 05:41 PM

I have a 40th anniversary 370z and just noticed that my passenger side exhaust tip hangs a tiny bit lower than my driver side tip...doesn't bother me because its very minor but can someone look at their 370z tips and see if its normal please? Its the stock exhaust btw

After getting hot, metal expands/cold contracts and so do exhausts. Did you notice this after driving? I just looked and cleaned mine I can't tell anything, but if there is some variance in spacing it isn't that visible for me to tell. I wouldn't worry about it in all honesty. Always use it as an excuse to go buy an after market one though.

Mine are a little crooked; I don't remember which is higher but you should be able to see it in my avatar.

Haven't paid attention to it.

You can bend the hangers, or shim the rear high side bracket with washers..
