can anyone confirm for me that the '06 sedan requires a bracket/hangers for an aftermarket exhaust (that's not stillen)? in particular, anyone put an HKS on an 06??

thanks!

 

yep requires the bracket from the 03-04, you can find it on everything35.com
http://www.g35parts.com/9083/osc/pro...roducts_id=120

 

You need the bracket. The 06's are the same as my 05 and I needed the bracket from the 03-04's because that the HKS was designed based on the earlier models.

You will need the bracket and the two rubber hangers.

 

Pretty much all aftermarket exhausts for the G35 Sedan are designed to mount to the '03 - '04 stock hanger locations.
(Stillen is an exception, which uses all its own hardware.)
This means any '05+ will need to convert to the prior configuration.
As mackinnr & jameyb stated, this basically requires 1 metal bracket, 2 rubber mounting hangers, and 2 screws.

Recommend purchasing straight from an Infiniti dealer vs. g35parts A.K.A EverythingG35.
They get the parts from Infiniti of Scottsdale anyways.
My reason being:

• Purchased the "2005 Sedan Rear Muffler Bracket Kit" from g35parts after comparing their 2 websites w/ S&H.
• http://www.g35parts.com/9083/osc/index.php
• http://infinitipa.zoovy.com/
• Sent e-mails before the purchase, trying to confirm the "Kit" included 2 rubber mounting hangers-- No reply.
• Attempted calling on a Saturday-- No pickup/voicemail.
• Despite this, bit-the-bullet and put order through.
• Replied to order confirmation e-mail asking "Does this kit include two rubber hangers along with the bracket?"
• Received reply from DMajkowicz stating "Yes, It comes with both hangers and the bracket."
• Got the shipment a few days later, lo-and-behold, the kit only includes 1 rubber mounting hanger! *bastards*
• Itemization of receipt shows charge for only 1 part# 20651-AF400 so I didn't bother disputing.
• Went to my local Infiniti dealer and got a hanger from the parts dept.

Other than getting all the parts from your local dealer, you can order from a website like http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...49&catalogid=0

'05 & '06 Sedans need the following:
1 INF 20742-AF400 (Metal Exhaust Mounting Assembly Rear Bracket)
2 INF 20651-AF400 (Rubber Exhaust Mounting Rear Hanger)
2 INF/NIS 08146-8252G (Metal Standard Hardware Screw)

 

grizzly,

good info on everythingg35, i order the mounting bracket as well this week due to Dan's assurance it comes with everything I needed, so I am interested to see what I get in the mail, will keep you posted.

by the way what part of the island are you from, I was born and raised in Kailua

 

wassup mackinnr,

small world we live in
grew up in Hawaii Kai. I've pretty been a townie all my life.

also interested if Dan's word hold true for you... do keep us posted with the result!

 

i can't find that metal screw @ the trademotion site... any other tips on getting them?

 

nevermind... you have to add it as a nissan part, not infiniti

 

FYI, you don't absolutely have to buy the screws. If you unbolt the 05-06 bracket then you can just use those bolts to secure the 03-04 bracket.

 

well I got the delivery today, and it was missing the second rubber hanger. Am email is being sent to Dan at eveythingg35.com so we'll see what he has to say...well making matters worse now both dealers in the area don't stock the part...F**k

Grizzly,
glad to meet a fellow islander, the wife and I are headed back on 9/3 for a week vacation, anything planned in the Hawaii G scene I should check out?
I'm a Kailua boy myself. So since I'm haole and from Kailua you probably can guess where I went to highschool

 

thanks jamey, that's what i figured, but i wanted to get them just in case. i'm psych'd! this is the first mod i've done to my car that's sound/performance related haha. i've been waiting to get more miles on the engine...

 

Excellent, I know that you will love it!

 

good call on re-using the bolts. I'm all for saving a buck I actually haven't done the install yet-- waiting `till I do the next oil change.

yeah, a tad bit whack that "kit" of theirs

actually, you might be better off ordering the parts Online, because this way the dealer does not take down your information/add remarks to your record... when I got the part from the dealer, the parts guy typed in a whole bunch of who-knows-what. I bet he typed in something like "Check to see if any warranty claim can be denied due to aftermarket exhaust, b/c he bought a exhaust hanger." Yeah, whatever, not like I'd re-install the stock muffler if I were to service my car at the dealer.

you're either Buff 'n Blue or a Surfrider. I myself grad from Iolani. shhh... keep it on the down low!
check out the Hawaii section at https://g35driver.com/forums/hawaii-45/ there might be a cruise on 3-SEP with the long weekend & all...

 

Can someone help me with the orientation of the metal mounting bracket. Do the rods point to the rear or front? Is the bolting plate above or below the rods after it is installed on the car? Pictures would sure help.....your assistence is very much aappreciated.

 

just bring it to a muffler shop and they should be able to make a custom hanger with no issues. i have an aftermarket 22" magnaflow hi-flo resonator and they had to build a custom set up for me
