Thanks B1ades & Zed, I can't wait to see the end result

One more recent shot I like:

birdmanx1 · 05-18-2011, 10:22 AM

5/17/2011 - After some negotiations, I managed to get my exhaust back from rarwz; b1ades joined us during the install. Installation was performed by Frank at Hills Garage. The finish look & performance are outstanding.

Exhaust view from bottom:

Exhaust view from side:

Exhaust view from the back:

Exhaust view from back 2 - rarwz getting exhaust work done as well and b1ades plotting the numbers for his upcoming GTR

Thanks dude, pretty pleased with the look, performance and sound. I'll show you in a few minutes - we'll probably wake up the entire neighborhood

b1adesofcha0s · 05-18-2011, 12:20 PM

Post up that photo of Frank when he was dealing with the demon bolt. Also make a video

Ty Weezy · 05-18-2011, 12:24 PM

Awesome looking nismo birdman! I must ask how is the FI exhaust doing with your drop? My cans sit really low and I am at stock nismo height. This is the only thing holding me back from getting a drop

birdmanx1 · 05-18-2011, 01:55 PM

Here is that pic of Frank dealing with the demon bolt on rarwz's Z With the amount of force and weight he pulled had the bolt slipped he would have went rolling all over

He would have rolled right into you taking that photo.

That is exactly what I was doing, it was nerve wracking since one wrong move will bring the breaker bar down on the engine or the fender haha. Gotta love a shiny FI exhaust, it definitely fits into the nismo bumper much better than most in my opinion.

birdmanx1 · 05-18-2011, 01:57 PM

Weezy, thanks for the kind words. With the drop and the exhaust, I stand somewhere around 3.5" clearance. Driving around after install, I didn't have any issue over bumps and I cleared my driveway without any hitch

hdskull · 05-20-2011, 02:39 PM

Awesome looking car and progress!

Do you have an amp? and how much did the roof cost you?

birdmanx1 · 05-20-2011, 05:33 PM

haha Christian, it is nerve wracking indeed, props to you for doing it yourself. Rarwz was in the background praying for nothing to break in the event of a fall

hdskull, thanks for the kind words, it is turning out well so far and I'm pretty satisfied. I have an alpine amp (MRP M500) Great quality and value. As far as the roof goes, plan somewhere between $700 - $1000 depending on how fancy you want to get (for instance having Z appear under sunlight reflection, other light tricks...)
