Tony, (Or anyone with FI's exhaust for that matter) can you say these are good over speedbumps? My apt complex has them now :facepalm: and I'm wondering what the clearance is for them?

@ Stock ride height, and if you've lowered them as well would be good info. I'm looking to drop maybe 1" at best.
Speed bumps are not an issue even with a lowered car! I know this because I have tested it myself with different cars.

Chris,

I installed my FI at stock height then lowered the car with eibachs shortly after. At stock height I scraped going in and out of my driveway until I learned to take it at an angle. Speedbumps were not a problem as long as I took them slow.

After lowering I was a little worried about scraping again, but as long as I take dips at an angle and speedbumps slow (even slower now that I'm lower) I don't scrape. Hope this helps!

Very helpful TY. I will take them slow too, I do in my tC now just because they are like /\ as opposed to low and flat. So it really bounces you if you go anything over 10mph. :ugh2:

Don't have too many big dips... just in this area alot of shitty roads due to them being paved in the 60's so lots of rocks/potholes FTL. :ugh2:

I totally Agree, thats the first thing I ran into with no problem, and of course you're going to sneak up on them thats just common sense...

So, for Tony or anyone else reading who has installed:

Couple of questions...

(1) Trimming the heat shield. Looking at the pic, do I just trim it so it is cut off about the same height as that vertical part of the underbody? The pic shows it cut, I think. Just wondering how much to cut off.

(2) I'm guessing the heat won't bother the line wrapped with heat wrap much since it's held in place by plastic ties. Just he worry-wart in me wonders if an extra layer would be even MORE better :D

(3) Final instructions say "get at least three hot and cold cycles through it". More specifically, what needs to be done? Start it up and make sure I drive it till the muffler is hot to the touch at least three times instead of turning it on and then driving 2 miles? What...?

Thanks !!!

OH, and Tony, if that muffler was polished any more, it would be a mirror !!!

Well, I finally pulled the trigger. Ordered the 12" SS CBE today! I'm effin' stoked! I just have to play the waiting game now.:rolleyes:

Thanks again, Tony.

I did two installs today and what I found is that we no longer need to cut the heat shield on the 370Z. All that you have to do is bend the corner of it back so it is out of the way.

I will adjust the installation instructions accordingly...

Thanks, Tony

I wonder what your front chin spoiler looks like! LOL
