The tips look a little off-centered though. The left side I noticed most. Is this what the washer trick fixes? I'm an anal-mofo and I will be doing the install myself so I just want to know if aligning the tips perfectly centered in the exhaust cutouts of the rear valance requires the washer trick?

Thks

I must have been slightly off-center when I took the pic, because the exit pipes do appear to line up perfectly. We ended up tweaking the right hangar just a tad down to get them lined up, since that pipe was just a touch higher.

During install, the left pipe didn't line up quite perfectly, so the left rez ended up being a touch lower than the right which kind of sucks, but the exit pipes look fine. We tried loosening everything on the left side & making sure it was as high as possible before re-tightening, but the bolts all fit nice and snug, so there was really nowhere else for the pipe to go.

Did you just bend the hangar? I hear they are hard to bend. Just trying to be prepared because I will be doing the install myself as the base where I work has garages and lifts at the auto crafts center that I can use

Yeah we just bent it a touch with a vice grip. A couple washers would have done the trick as well.

Non-Resonated w/ stock HFC sounds the best.

The resonated versions were too quiet for my blood. I like attention and the non-res shows power and intimidation.

Well, Europe has gone through a lot of changes. When I was there last (1986), you could hardly do ANYTHING to your car in Germany. It's better now (but I guess still hard to find a place to run).

belgium just sucks.

turbo mod? illegal.

exhaust? illegal unless they are certified which are barely any.

intake? depends on the person

suspension? only if certified

Nice vids and awesome tracks to run at...wow

Vegitto-kun · 04-17-2011, 06:14 PM

I just hope that there is another francorchamp spa track day organised by the Belgian GT-R/Z club.

I want to track again~

also today I finally got confirmation that my exhaust setup is no problem.

zolder is way more strict with noise than francorchamp and I didn't get a warning at zolder so I am fine.
