Default GT Spec 350Z Bars Pics Installed (for clearance issues)

Hello all. I finally got around to getting some pics of my car while it was up n the rack here at the shop.
Here are some pics to show you the GT spec bars installed on the 350z from under the car, so you all can see the clearance issues.
My car has the Injen SES straight tip exhaust.
You can see there isn't a lot of clearance on the rear lateral bar for a big exhaust pipe. As you can see the tie bar (straighter bar sits higher) will fit regardless of exhaust, as will the front bar, but it's the lateral bar that dips under teh exhaust that's the issue. WE sell these bars by themselves so that you don't get stuck with a set of 3, and only being able to use 2 etc...

Tony,

Does the front and rear tie bars fit on the G35? Can the rear lower lateral brace be returned (including the 15% restocknig fee) if it does not fit? I'm not sure since the return policy states that the package must be unopended. Thanks.

Darren

Tony - FYI - the lateral bar (front of rear suspension x member), wont fit with any single exhaust we have come across yet....fits with every dual system we have tried it on so far though!

THat's what i thought about the single exhausts, the piping is just too big and routed too close to be able to put that bar on from the looks of it.

I figured it would clear the new HKS, Stillen, injen, and similar exhausts....

Well the car to me felt stiffer in the turns. I noticed a better turn in response as well as a more solid feel exiting the turn.
As for the 4pnt brace, I have no word yet, this is supposed to be out very soon, and of course, i'll end up trying it hehe

Cool, let us know when it's out and how it fits with single pipe exhausts like Fujitsubo.

From what people have been saying, the rear lateral bar will not fit single pipe exhausts, which includes nismo and stock etc... but will fit true dual exhausts.

The other two bars have no clearance issues.

I've never seen it on a Z with the greddy.
You do have to remember, that there are so many different exhausts out there, it's impossilbe to tell which (for certain) it will and won't fit. It's still a reletively new item, so we're working on getting a list together to help with these typse of questions.
