Have tried this question in another thread but no joy, so here I go with my personal thread: anyone around with this combo? Yes I suppose (andy@performance for instance). Any info and pics would be much appreciated on possible install problems (mating the parts, supports, shims, etc)... I have all the parts ready for installation but I am a bit fearful of what could go wrong! Ciao M

Ask Beddow, he justed install this combo this past weekend. Plus i have the combo, but i have not installed my HF yet.
This link under beddow post has 2 sound clips of the combo.

 

Hey James, thanks a lot, the link was VERY helpful!!

 

Vai tranquillo...

 

This is a great setup and in my opinion the cats truly compliment the exhaust note of the Nismo exhaust. It is a very straight foward install but just make sure you add about 3 shims per bolt (2) that is on the V brace. The cats will make the piping hang a few CM down causing the mid pipe to hit the V brace during hard acceleration, down shifting, or coming to a stop from the mid pipe shifting around. Other than that, you should be really happy with it.

 

It go calm.. Did that translate right?

350Z_LMS your very welcome

 

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the Tip, Im tring to picture the V brace, were is it located exactly? Im looking thru the service manual of a picture, just can find one off the batt. Is it located nere the cats?

 

sounds like a nice set up...
not my cup of tea but it must be pretty pretty good
it just sounds good

 

Get your car on a rack or jack it up, you will see it on the rear end of the under carriage. One youre under the car you cant miss it. It is a huge v brace thats bolted to the chassis in black.

 

Ok, thanks. Now i can picture it, the big black brace toward the back. What size washers/shims should be used? 3/8, 5/16, 1/2, 3/4?

 

Hey guys, keep going...I'm gonna get started next weekend...pics are more than welcome!
