Thanks again

If I remember from my Borla install, the hanger are attached to brackets that are bolted on. Instead of prying the rubber hangers off, I just unbolted them and dropped them down with the rest of the exhaust. I would assume you could put a spacer inbetween the bracket/body pretty easy. Might have to be drilled for the holes and longer bolts might be required but I remember having quite of bit to thread left.

I just looked at my nismo lip and there would be plenty of room to extend the tips. The lip is actually cut to provide for an exhaust although the stock tips come no where near close to sticking out the back.

man this mod is AWESOME. I am totally doing it. Thanks!!!
However, I can't decide. I am either going to get these tips and the midpipe OR a stillen gen 2 full catback. Money is tight and I want a new sound so I don't know whether to go ahead and spend about 100 for the midpipe and tips now or dish out 900 bucks for a new stillen catback later. What do you think. (sorry if I'm hijackin the thead. just thought I would throw it out there)
