So,
Those who have already installed their exhausts: have yall accidently rubbed/scraped/bottom'd out on bumps and humps or any other occasions?

No, not at all. Clearance is NOT an issue unless you are slammed.

The lowest point of the mufflers are almost in line with the rear axle, so when you go over a speed bump the mufflers rise with the rear of the car, so clearance is never an issue at stock height.

According to Tony and this thread the FI exhaust does NOT sit 3 inches lower than stock, its much less than that. If I remember correctly its less than an inch lower, like 3/8ths of an inch or something.

My number is coming up!

finally get mine installed 2tm

Does the FI exhaust cure cabin rattles?

dlmartin81 · 05-19-2010, 09:37 AM

^^ That is correct, according to Tony's documentation.

However, I believe the issue here is that the lowest points of both exhausts (stock vs FI) are not in the same place. I haven't received mine yet so I'm not 100% sure. But the stock's lowest point seems to be right in the middle of the rear wheels....meaning, whenever the wheels ride over something (driveway, speedbump, etc.), the exhaust is lifted in relation to the wheels. FI's lowest point on the other hand appears to be a little further back.

all i have to say...the exhaust is amazing. period.

kielbasa16 · 05-20-2010, 09:25 AM

Any updates on whats shipping out this week vs next week?

Diocletian · 05-20-2010, 09:30 AM

Wow, HP Logic just called me at the last possible second to say they can't do my exhaust today. This was a major scheduling inconvenience for me to be able to take half a day off today to get this done. Now I got all the hardware just sitting in my car and half of a PTO day wasted. Can anybody in South Florida install HFC, CBE and Sways TODAY?! Please let me know ASAP!

Aww man that sux! I know you were anxious and ready to go to! There are a few shops here in Tampa that might be able to help you out. My exhaust and TP will be here tomorrow! I am getting it installed Sat morning. I will PM you.

Diocletian · 05-20-2010, 09:40 AM

Tampa is a 3 hour drive for me unfortunately, but thanks anyway.

Viera · 05-20-2010, 10:10 AM

^^Thought you were getting them installed tomorrow? That sucks man...

Diocletian · 05-20-2010, 10:18 AM

It was moved because of a scheduling conflict on my part, HP Logic insisted that Thursday was perfectly fine for them. I would basically have to wait 2 weeks to get them to install it now because apparently there's only ONE guy there that handles the work and he's going on vacation. I could MAYBE try for a Friday morning install but I got a client appointment at 2PM and since they quoted me 4 hours for the install(and they open at 10AM) that's too close for comfort.

I'm already on the look out for someone else to do this install.

Diocletian · 05-20-2010, 11:30 AM

Found another place a former member recommended that's actually right down the street. I confirmed that they have infact worked on a few 370z's and they even said they can install it today for $275! I'll be sure to post some pics when it's finished.
