I guess I will need to do some type of shimming or some type of "jerry rig". :confused:

Why not adjust the exhaust?

I washed it at 7am and went to a get together at the local Ferrari dealer. I'm going to a Tsunami benefit car show tonight at USF.

That what I said I will have to shim the bolts that attach the bracket to the frame where the rubber bump attaches to the hanger to bring the tips down on both sides and maybe I will need some longer bolts also. :confused:

Right now I have about 1/8 to 3/8 between the tips and the bumper. I don't know why that bracket was made so short that the tips almost touch the bumper....

However so other member had posted that they haven't had a problem...

:shakes head: :shakes head:

Right now I have about 1/4 to 1/2 between the tips and the bumper. I don't know why that bracket was made so short that the tips almost touch the bumper....

Ugh, I felt like I needed to break out a McEnroe-esque headband today while waxing the Z.

Wash, dry, 100MPH as a passanger, car feels much faster that way????

Installed my Berk HFCs today. Goddamn that Demon bolt was bad!!!

For any of you who need help with it, here's a tip. Go to Sears and get a 20" and a 10" 1/2" socket extension. With the 1/2" extensions you won't lose as much torque when you're wrenching on them. Once we had the right tools it was simple.

Car feels a bit more powerful and is much louder when combined with the Berk CBE I have installed.
