After an hour of fussing with a seized end link, finally got the rear anti roll bar up. Went to put the exhaust back up, and too my surprise. IT DON'T FIT!! Modification here I come!

 

Picked up the brake kit going on my car soon

 

Beat it up in the 100 plus heat at Autoclub Speedway. Tons of redline heal toe down shifts and didn't skip a beat

 

Did you put it above the sway bar or did you put it below the sway bar and fight with it for an hour wondering why it wouldn't fit like me?

 

LOL I tried both ways. Above was way to high and below is like 3/4 inch too low. I'm assuming you went above??

 

Yeah mine goes above the sway bar... It doesn't bolt together like yours so I have endless ways to try getting it on... I was so frustrated I almost just left the rear muffler off...

If you 180 that pipe and go above its a no go? What exhaust system is that?

Mine has slip joints fits really close to the differential ears, and the spring bucket but has lots of sway bar clearance.





This was a before pic of my ugly diff...

 

It's an Invidia Gemini. I'm thinking I'm gunna try a heat and beat. If that doesn't work I'm going to cut it and put a piece of flex pipe on it so I can get to the track this weekend

 

^^^ too much rust down there!

 

oh.... i had that exhaust, it does go over it. you need to rotate it 180 degrees. if it wont go over the sway that way.... flip it, if still no go, rotate it 180 degrees again. it will fit both ways, but supposed to go over the sway

 

and also... i believe the left and right pipes will go on the opposite side.. it may be that you have the wrong pipe on the opposite side. the drivers one is more straight and the passenger has a bend for it to go over the bar

 

Followed some DIY's and replaced the non-existent brushes in my driver's window motor. No more going all Mortal Kombat on my door to make my window work!!!!


It sounds so much stronger. Going to do the passenger side too for insurance. Not a bad way to spend an hour and $5.00!

 

Well fudge me, i didn't know or even try that. ROFL, and obviously didn't check my messages! I went the impatient heeman route. but its in there now!

 

yeeeeeeeeah, i think you might have them swapped. oh well, if it works for you. haha

 

Well there ain't no changing it now!! LOL.

 

I damn I was hoping you would check back... I understand the frustration though. I was 100% ready to remove my dual exhaust and put my cheesy single back on...

 

Yeah, i was getting anxious, and my last new end link was delivered this morning allowing me to finish her and be ready for the weekend. I almost shed a tear after the first few hits. Then I said F it. Ill fix it in the winter!!

 

I dropped my rear muffler section so many times off the jack and into the tips so many times I almost threw it...

If it was a few years ago I would have most deff thrown it.

I cleaned up some ugly today, and scraped out some car tar... Taken out a whopping 5.8lbs of tar thus far... Starting to miss my subwoofer though.



It does make a noticeable difference though.

 

Is your Z fully gutted?

 

Just the back section behind the seats, my wife had a little fit when I mentioned cutting out the sheet metal.
