I dont know if Im just trippin, but my new exhaust seems to hang a lot lower than the stock one did. I was going over some speed bumps today which I go over all the time and the first one I bottomed the exhaust out on (and I was going real slow to). I have some before and after pics and you can really tell the fuji hangs lower than the stock. Also I have 2 rattles. The first rattle I hear I think is the b-pipe hitting the cross member becuase it only does it when im on a bumpy road. The second one is under hard torque the drivers cat is hitting the heatsheild (this one Im aware of).

Did I install the system wrong by chance?

Before


After (lightened to show detail)

 

dude my fuji was all low i would hit it everytime i go up the driveway (which is why i ended up selling it)

 

fuji pipe is 3" and stock is 2-2.5" if you get true dual such as hks ti.. each pipe is like 2.25-2.5".... i like my exhuast kindda low.. but thats me....

 

What exhaust do you prefer.... HKS or Fuji.... I like both exhaust....

 

most aftermarket are like that.

 

That's normal

 

it looks normal to me. just check from time to time to see if the exhaust hangers are starting to come loose or not or stretch

 

ok thx, I feel better about it now, but now im seriously having second thoughts about dropping the car more now. I think I may stick with my 350z h-techs instead of making the switch to eibachs

 

That is normal for the fuji, mine is the same way.

 

looks completely normal to me as well. has about the same clearance as mine.

 

does anyones rattle off the cross member? Im hearing a rattle when I go over bumps, im thinking thats what its rattling off of.

 

that looks awesome. looks high quality. is clearance really an issue?

 

well when I go over a speed bump at like 4mph and hit the pavement it is kind of an issue. I can live with it now but I was intending on lowering the car more in the spring (from h-techs to eibachs) but I dont know if Im going to do that anymore

 

looks fine.........your prob jst over thinking it.........anyways now you def cant drop your car if you bottom out already..........now you know how i feel

 

You might want to try loosening up all the exhaust bolts and have someone push the exhaust up while you retighten the bolts. It should give you a little more clearance.
