yea I have a video pretty much made just have to edit it. I know the *hiss* everyone is talking about but mine seems a little more extreme...thats why I want to make sure with tightening of the bolts near the gaskets and some silicone JUST to make sure.

Hey Tony,.
Any plans for offering a change in muffler type for lowered cars? Like smaller cans or different angle to prevent scraping on lowered cars that would bolt on to your existing system? This would not be a change in design, but just a muffler-back system as an option,..

Posey075 05-08-2010 03:43 PM

Hey Tony you have a PM for invoice update.

My exhaust is level, it does look weird in the picture but they are level. I had to shim the passenger muffler down with 2 washers to get the tips even. :tiphat:

280z/300zx 05-10-2010 01:05 AM

Hey guys, what size washers should I have on hand for the install?

Do people get exhaust leeks when washers are used as shims?

If you use fennel, you don't notice the leeks so much.

Nice! :icon18:

To answer... using washers as shims will not cause exhaust leaks at all.

Really, how so? I'm assuming the washers are put in between two flanges. Wouldn't that create a gab, thus allowing the exhaust to leak through.

Are there any pics describing this ad hoc fix?

I believe hes talking about using washers on the exhaust hangars to level the tips out. not using them between the flanges..

AAAaaahhh....ok....makes sense now. Adding washers to the hanger will raise the exhaust. I thought you guys were actually trying to tilt the angle of the exhaust by adding the washers to one end of the two connecting flanges....haha.

dlmartin81 05-10-2010 12:25 PM

Oh come on....hehe....give me a break....i had no idea what you guys were talking about. "...just add washers..." is so vague

that justifies a face-palm??? lol but i'll be a good sport about it.

No, no, no! The washers are very thin and are used to space down the tip hanger from the body. They do not go in line of the exhaust system at all! In most cases you won't Even need them. The last 3-5 installs I have done did not require any adjusting...

Yup. If the X pipe is level 99% of the time the mufflers and tips line up perfectly even.

163-165 will be added to the list shortly.

Thanks to all 3 of you for your orders...

Tony

dlmartin81 05-10-2010 01:33 PM

Does anyone have any pics of this? I'm sure once I get under the car to install mine I'll see what you guys are talking about. But till then, any pics?

Diocletian 05-10-2010 02:23 PM

Tony,

You guys got a license plate holder or something I could put on my car to help advertise for you...Also, I really want an excuse to replace my dealer vanity plate lol.

F.I. Inc. 05-11-2010 09:24 PM

Wow,

we almost ended up on the second page. Good thing I need to update the thread and not just "bump it"

Omegared 05-11-2010 09:47 PM

My Pleasure Tony....you ARE the Guru...cant wait for the exhaust, I KNOW I'm gonna love it. All of the positive comments posted in these forums about Tony being the customer service King are absolutley spot on. I spoke to him for the first time today....10 mins later I'm #168 and very comfortable with my decision. :happydance:

I got one with my exhaust...sure u will too.

And I wish I would have thought of the washer idea before hand to lower mine, I just noticed the exhaust tips melted my bumper underneath the curves on both sides. :(

You are the first my friend. No one else has melted a bumper. They are dual wall resonated tips. What that means is they absorb the heat better than a single wall tip. The only way they could of melted your bumper is if they were on it. The only way they could of been on it is if the exhaust was not installed properly....
