I know this is weird.....but anyone know the part number to the 05-06 sedan muffler bracket? I am doing a lil project and need one ASAP. Better yet, if anyone who's upgraded their 05-06 sedan to a HKS and is willing to sell me theirs....I'd much appreciate it

I know its usually the other way around....05+ guys getting the 03-04 brackets, but like I said, I have aproject going on. Thanks!

Also, do you guys know if the rear exhuast hangers on the 05+ mufflers will line up to the 03-04 rear hangers?

 

it looks like I need items 13 and 16. 16 is the rubber hanger which is around $20 but 13 isn't listed for sale? WTF?

 

can any 05-06 owners confirm that the bracket is the same for the 05-06 sedans and I only need the hangers? whats the deal with the 05+ sedans muffler brackets

 

infiniti parts usa shows the same picture for 03 and 06 sedans. I'm afraid they only sell03-04 sedan muffler brackets and not the 05+. I might just pay a muffler shop to weld on some hangers that will fit the 03-04 bracket + hangers, that might be cheaper than buying oem 05 parts.

 

I just ordered the bracket and everything from EverythingG35.com (Infiniti of Scottsdale) and I'm using it on my car with the Stillen TD Gen 2. You can get the kit from their main exhaust section, or browse their OEM catalog and search for these parts:

INF 20742 - AF400 (exhuast mount)
(2) INF 20651 - AF400 (Rubber Hanger)

Hey Jerome thanks for the information.

You are doing the opposite of what I'm doing. You have the 05+ exhaust bracket + hanger and is changing to it to the 03-04 bracket + hanger. I already have what you just ordered, I need the stock 05+ bracket + hanger (what you currently have on your car).

 

Actually, the previous owner had an exhaust fabricated at a muffler shop. The installer tossed the rear bracket and hangars and made his own... So, I needed that bracket just to install my Stillen TD. If I had it, I would have sent it to you.

 

oh man that would've been sweet!

ohh well, I'll have to find my own way.

The 05+ mufflers are so far superior than the previous years.....

 

Now I know why the website only had 1 part (#16) for the 05+ sedans!!!

They changed it to a 1 piece setup....(bracket + hangers) in the 05. I was wondering why they would do such a retarded thing....but I'm guessing its for cost savings.

With the help of Tom (Azianbeethoven), now I'm enlightened

are you installing the 05 muffler? what you trying to do? no more hks?

 

I'm going for a new sound





HKS is gone

 

Rob....whats the update on your car big boy?


totalled? being fixed? getting it back next month? what the deal homo

 

the 05+ sedans seem to have their brackets mounted in a different place than where the 03-04 sedans have their brackets mounted. I will double check tonight when i get under the car. If they are different mounting points and my car doesn't have the mounting holes.......this will be very bad news for me as I will have to take the muffler to a shop to custom weld in brackets on the 05+ mufflers to be used on my car.

 

The brackets on an 05 are completely different from those off of an 03-04. I know you'll be able to connect the rear bracket, but I'm not sure how you're going to connect the side, if the 03-04 can bolt up the bracket there too, if you even need it.

 

I'm thinking....the 05+ sedan folks who get HKS or stillen exhausts bolt up the 03-04 brackets fine on their sedans...i hope i'll be able to bolt up the 05+ brackets on my 04.
