i got a couple.... however they all have exhausts already :(

simota1 11-19-2013 03:24 PM

well i woke up at 430 in the morning today... couldnt really sleep.... was so irritated and mad at the damn mufflers..... and also at myself.... i decided to try again.... this time passenger side first..... guess what.... perfect fit..... i was like wtf are you serious.....? the culprit is the driver side..... something is definitely wrong.... after messing with it for 2 hours..... i figured out the angle on the flange is the reason why its hitting my bumper....if i just bolt up the hangers (keep in mind there are two hangers on this side) everything is perfect..... the moment i tighten the bolts on the mid pipe.... it tilts the muffler to a point that its hitting the bumper..... :shakes head: i got to hear the mufflers though :tup: i wont lie they are decent.... i actually like them (the sound). The only thing holding me back? the tips stick out like nerf bars or truck exhausts..... :( they look "ok" but to me its really the deal breaker and makes the back of my z look kinda ugly from the side view..... i have a plan though.....some cutting and tig welding to suck them in 1 1/2 :tup:

I was thinking the same thing when I saw the pics in the other thread discussing these mufflers. all the need is like you say 1" to 1.5" off…

GL hope it works out for you Jon :tup:

Let me know what you do to these mufflers to get them sucked in, I would like to do the same. like i said mine fit well just a little too far rearward. also, I just did BOP for Guam, hope to be seeing this beast in a couple months.

i really missed my roof overlay :tup: i think it blends better with the whole cf hood....

and a two weeks ago i had someone walk up to me and tell me that daytona is for american cars because it relates to nascar.... why would i put a daytona "nascar" on my z :bowrofl: first off i dont even know this guy..... :roflpuke2: i told him cuz i dream of racing my z in the daytona 500 dude gave me this crazy look and walked away :icon17:.... i dunno if its because im getting older or because im just tired always from work but nowadays i dont feel like explaining in full detail when someone makes a moronic comments about my z, and thinks they know everything in the import world.... :icon17: to bad he didnt know the daytona is a Z specific tuning shop in fukuoka japan... that supports and caters specifically to Z's only :D
