Uneven Exhaust - 2011 Base Model

11Thumper · 04-04-2011, 02:03 PM

Hi,

I've had my Z for about a week now. This weekend I noticed the exhaust pipes don't stick out evenly at the rear bumper. A trip to the local dealer confirmed that all 2011s on the lot had this issue, but 2010s did not. I don't know how to post pics but basically the passenger side exhaust doesn't stick out as much as the driver side.

Is this something Nissan will fix under warranty?

How different? Like 10mm or 0.001mm?

Didn't drive the Z to work today, but maybe ~.25-.5" (or 6-12mm)

See if the exhaust tip can be adjusted. Mine is 09 and fixed ..but even length.

Have any pics?

Maybe its time for a new exhaust?

I remember seeing this on all the Zs I saw in the dealership when I bought mine, my stock exhaust was also uneven and I could not get it even no matter what I tried.

Hm. Seems odd. All of them were like that?

11Thumper · 04-04-2011, 04:32 PM

All the 2011 Zs I looked at had the same issue. There were a couple 2010s on the lot and none of them had the issue.

Maybe the rear bumper isn't molded correctly and gives the appearance that the exhaust is not straight.

Really funny this was posted, as just this weekend I noticed the same issue on my '10. The left exhaust tip seems to stick out ever so slightly on mine.

+1

Mine was the same way. Even after I installed my Greddy exhaust. I checked it out and could see a reason why this was so. Unless it has something to do with the EVAP on the passenger side.
