hey fellow G lovers...ive got a probubly stupid question but im not with my car right now so i cant really figure out what my dad is sayen...he ordered the Nismo headers and exhaust and he says that the connections dont fit toget ther and i cant figure out what the problem is but ill be home in a few days but does any one know what he is talking about and what the fix would be???

 

did he get the extension for the exhaust???

 

Exactly what i was thinking....

If it is designed for the 350Z...it will be about 6-8" short in the mid pipe.

 

BTW the tips will not sit flush with the bumper...they will sit back about 3 inches

 

The JDM weldina nismo exhaust is a perfect fit-but almost twice the amount.

 

Basically the hangers that support the exhaust will not line up if your dad tried to bold the exhaust up directly. You need a 6" extension piece to get the hangers to align properly.

Then you'll need to have a professional welder add in a 2" length to both sides of the tail pipes so that they sit flush with your rear diffuser.

Performance Nissan sells this 6" extension...

 

i really dont know the whole story cause im in a differnet country but ill be with her in a few days, all i know is that he ordered the nismo stuff for a g35 coupe not a 350z what he says is that the connections between the headers and exhaust wont plug into each other... dont konw why... and so the nismo tips are to short?? so ill need to have them choped off and re welded with a little extension??? ill take as much info as you could give me you can never know to much...thanks guys

 

cause the exhaust your dad bought was for the z...the g version of that exhaust is alot more and not too many people stock that exhaust kit...

 

i was dead-set on getting the Nismo system myself, and as everyone mentioned there are 2 systems. the 350z version (which many places just list as a "g35 coupe" version and include the extension) and the JDM G35 (CPV35) version (which retails for like $2200 and has a helluva wait time since it's JDM).

i would imagine that he ended up with the 350z variant WITHOUT the extension pipe. in that case like neffster mentioned, if you mounted the exhaust to the hangers you would end up short.

in my own personal case i didn't mind the extension pipe, but having to cut and re-weld the tips was the dealbreaker. i ended up getting the Fujitsubo (same system since Fuji actually builds the Nismo system) and it fit like a glove.

where did he order it from?

 

dont reelly know i just wrote him an email asking if we can send it back and get the proper one... but if we get the extension and have the tips extended then its the same thing???

 

It's an 8" extension made by Pro-1.

 

well for the exhaust ive got 20100-RSV55 NISMO JDM Cat-back Exhaust System - 2003 to 2004 Infiniti G35 Coupe from http://courtesyparts.com/ and shouldnt that be the right part???

 

You won't need the extension.
