There are some gnarly speedbumps where I live

Just gotta be careful now

genesis2012 · 03-08-2014, 11:47 AM

Anyone have had their CF exhaust for atleast 2 years? If so? How's is it holding up?

i installed mine in september 2011 and mine are perfect. only thing on mine is a small nick on the leading/front edge of the muffler where a small rock hit it. no pics of it but i can if needed. nothing to really see honestly.

My right can had a nice quarter size flat spot the low life is not so fun sometimes

I'm on swifts and had CF cans for a year. I haven't scraped yet.

I scraped both mine a few months after installation almost made me cry. No speed bump, just not paying attention and drove through boulders of rocks over a driveway in the middle of repair. I heard every boulder tear through the canisters. About a nickel size exactly where your scrapes are. I quickly realized it was a sleeve and not an overlay. Pricing on just rear section is not bad at all. Yours is not nearly as bad as mine, my canisters are definitely straight through the cf...sound is louder too. Just don't plan on keeping the Z much longer so no replacement happening for me.

Be glad your damage is minimal!

I hope you are upgrading to something nicer!

How much is a new canister or just to replace the CF?

do 20s with the same profile tire, it minimizes wheel gap from what i have seen

see i cant complain about wheel gap

Z-Girl 12 · 03-09-2014, 09:05 PM

I agree OP, the wheel gap is so fugly, bothered me everytime I walked toward my car. Just hated the profile, lowering created a totally different look. Still worth the low life in my opinion. I'd do it again, no speed bumps were a problem. Just a clear obstacle I didn't pattention to, smh. You gotta pay to play sometimes, I'm paying!

Wait until you hit a bump on the freeway and have to replace a $1000+ carbon front lip because it ripped off and you ran it over.

But definitely agree on the "pay to play".
