Me? I already have a Megan for the other side.

Mine will look like this when I finish it except the piping will be all 3".

I went ahead and bought the heat shield from the Ms for the right side. I called 2 places and asked them what the part # is for the G sedans but they all said they didn't know what I was talking about.

The heat shield #16 doesn't show in the catalog for the Gs in the same category as the Ms.

I will post pics of eveything I do because I do want other people to follow and do the same thing.
The EVAP canister will go under the spare tire in the trunk. I also have been looking at it and it looks like I can get away without extending the electrical lines or the 2 EVAP hoses and drilling 3 holes through the spare tire well into the trunk. I can use the 2 existing holes that are near the rear diff but I would have to extend the hoses and electrical wires.

Also an update. My 304 stainless steel pipes order was delayed and it just shipped today. I will be able to begin this next month.

No we are still together. But I just started school again so I stay home more now then at her house. It's hard to find time for everything but I manage. I actually missed school yesterday.

The 1st shipment of 304 ss came today. The 3" 2" center offset pipe that is going in between the rear sway bar and differential is the reason for the big delay. It was suppose to be one piece and it's welded instead. Out of stock pipe.
The 3 bolts flanges are the header flanges that will bolt up to the headers and I still need 3 bolt copper gaskets.

I'm undecided if I want to use 2 3" 2" center line offset pipes to clear the sway bar or if I should use 1 18 degree pipe to clear. The center line offset pipes would be more work but it would give it a flush look.

In the pics I had the pipe resting on the sway bar but it does clear.

Total for this shipment was $350.

So I called infinitipartsusa and they hanged up on me. I called Sewell parts and asked them to send me the 05-06 bracket for the muffler and told them it's not in the catalog and that the 03-04 bracket is different than 05-06. So they say they have it and they send me this.

If I wanted an 03-04 bracket I would of bought it myself from the ****ing catalog.


This is what I need.

It would be easier to heat, bend and weld ss hangers to the car and I can do that myself. But that's not what I want to do.

That OEM hanger will also let me hang the muffler at the right place just by taking measurements from the driver side to the passenger side.


There is also 2 types of 3 bolt flanges. The ones I have don't work I think. I need the triangle ones like this.



This is what I have which is different.

I just decided to buy the Stillen test pipes which have a 2.25 to 2.5" transition pipe already done and they bolt up to stock headers. The 2 bolt 2.5" flange they have at the end of the test pipes should bolt up to a 3" with no problem.

Turns out the bracket I am looking for that holds the muffler in place is a special order item and it's $35 shipped.
