haha, that's a great compliment, I really appreciate that. I think it's the best look for the nismo rear, looks weird painted all one solid color

Stock should have a cross brace from the tranny to the pre-cats (that area, anyways), looks like a boomerang kind of. Maybe just don't see it in pics.

Either way looks wicked dude!

hmmm, don't think i saw anything like that, but it's been like that and no issues...unfortunately i couldn't keep the y pipe on, looks like one of the test pipes was made wrong and angling everything upward, causing the y pipe to vibrate on the chassis...i had to email megan racing to see if they will replace the right test pipe to correct this problem...hopefully they get back to me soon, so i can finalize my exhaust

Hopefully they come through.

About half the exhaust relies on the Manifold studs/bolts, and that bracket. i have mine off right now too, a lot of guys run that way.

BUT I've heard of studs breaking, manifolds breaking, cracking, and so on, so just be-ware of the risks involved with running no mount

I'm going to do some fabbing and put brackets on my Test pipes so that I can still use it.

FYI: That bracket brand new from Nissan is only about $55, and that's here in canada, so u know it's cheaper down there. Aside from the fabbing necessary to mount for the pre-cat, it's cheap insurance, I think. Just info to pass along.

Man, your car is one of my all time favorite sedans. I've been watching it for awhile and finally got a '03 Sedan of my own. Hopefully it will turn out a 10% of how clean yours has! Keep it up.

thanks for the info, i wasn't aware they removed that boomerang shaped bracket, but in speaking to the techs who did my build, they said a bracket can definitely be fabbed up to fix the issue.

i can't wait, just a little worried about destroying the bumper on a dip, bump or any unforeseen objects. i guess only time will tell

thank you very much, keep an eye out on craigslist and the forums, where you'll find many great deals on quality parts...i'm not ashamed to say i've gotten my parts for a fraction of what i should've paid, but patience is necessary in locating what you really want
