It would be cool to see a progress thread, though.

A thread should be coming soon!!! Tony just doesnt want the competition to get any ideas

For those that installed the exhaust, did you guys torque down the bolts to a specific amount?

Till it was nice and tight which was still no where near as tight as the stock system was. I think Nissan must employ godzilla or something with as tight as the nuts and bolts were.

nissan put locktite on all the bolts....

So no one actually used a torque setting for their exhaust? Just want to make sure.

I think he's implying that he just cranked on it with a wrench until it wouldn't go anymore.

Thanks guys, I just did it without the torque wrench. I just need to get the tips to sit aligned. One is a few mm higher than the other. Im ocd haha.

any suggestions on how you guys went about getting them perfectly even.

The instructions state to use washers on the rear bracket with the 3-12mm bolts. Fortunately, I didn't have to use any,...

Oh and the torquing thing - we tried the Godzilla technique... worked very well...

Well tomorrow I'll try to redo the bolts and see if I can readjust the alignment It's very close

Just like Paul stated, very easy to do. Rear hanger, remove the 3 bolts holding the bracket up, place one or two washers on each bolt so the washer is between the car and the bracket. Works great for us OCD types.

I think someone said they used washers to even out the tips.
