Tried the gay search function but didn't find anything.

Anyone have any step by step with pics on installing, thanks.

Just seeing what I am up against when I install. I heard it takes about an hour and its basically bolt-on but I wanted to see the step by step if anyone has documented it here. I have access to a lift. Danka!

 

It takes about 3 hours to install if you know what ur doing.

Not to say it's difficult, just a lot of grunt work. Simple bolt ons.

it took like 2 hours to do my hks full daul wif a frd ....installed was easy if u hav the right tools .... its pretty obvious once u get under ur car .... just simply replace the stock y pipe wif wutever the pipe u got then mid pipe ...end wif the muffler .....i think the hardest thing is to tak out the muffler lol... newayz good luck

 

Thanks guys, I have access to many tools and a lift ($3 an hour charge), so I am good to go!

yep, the installation of an exhaust is pretty intuitive regardless the brand of exhaust..

installed mine with my mechanic the other day with no prior experience...took around 1.5hours.

Just ensure to put some 'gasket putty' on both sides of the gasket connecting the pipes, this ensures a close fitment...should only cost a couple of bucks a tube

Also, have a bottle of WD40 ready...you'll be using alot of it to get the stock exhaust off those rubber 'hooks'...spray liberally in between these joints, they are a pain to get out otherwise.

Finally, this is not a one person job...stock exhaust can be heavy and might need someone or some machinery to hold the Y-pipe (or some other pipe) up while you're attaching/removing another...

hope this helps.

 

Too funny. I guess we'd really be in for a treat if he was from this country. When I encounter a post like that, assuming I can make it out, I take the content with a grain of salt.

 

I was making a joke. I'm part French-Canadian.

 

Definitely use the lift, it will save time. It took me about three hours, but a lot of that time was spent cutting a bolt off. Make sure you use a breaker bar/hollow pipe on a wrench to give you leverage as well as to keep you from rounding the bolts from repeatedly trying to get it off. There are basically six bolts you will replace and come with the Nismo exhaust kit if you bought it new, two gaskets, and a grounding screw. Other than the rounded bolt, the hangers are tough because you don't have a lot of room to get your hand around there. I just sprayed a lot of lubricant around the hangars and that helps. There are 3/4 hangar spots you need to pull the muffler off of. I would say two hours is what it'll take if you don't deal with difficulties and have a lift.

 

I know it's not the most thorough write-up, since i didnt have anybody to help me take pics, but here's a link from my cardomain page..

PM me if you have questions

 

Alright my bad , but who really cares about the way i type. Does it really matter if I'm Canadia? Also this is just a thread about exhuast installation,what does it get to do with the way i type on internet?? So i think share some opinions would be more useful than complaining about how ppl type. At least I'm here trying to help with some opinions about NISMO EXHUAST INSTALL not here to laugh at others,well if you guys dont like the way i typed ,I'll do better next time. Sorry about that "Chad68"

 

It took me a little over an hour (including documenting the whole setup), on jackstands, and I'm 16. I'm sure you can do better .

The exhaust install is about as straightforward as possible. Just unbolt the stock and install the new one (I did mine from the y-pipe back, I'd recommend doing this too).

 

it is no more than an hour, hour and a half job, even without a lift.

It only fits one way, so honestly, directions are pretty much a waste - as mentioned, it is a very intuitive install

 

This is what I used:

The write-up is for a G35 with a Fujitsubo exhaust, but it is exactly the same thing as the Nismo exhaust. If you have access to a lift, it shouldn't take you long at all. Very simple. Plus here is the shop manual for how to work on the exhaust:

Good luck!

 

Thanks Guys!

 

Exhaust installs aren't difficult at all. When I did my Injen, it took me 1 hour on jackstands, including jacking up the car, carrying all my tools / exhaust down from my 3rd floor apartment, carrying everything back up, and getting the car back down.

 

I'm assuming this is all I need?

Socket Wrench
Torque Wrench
14 mm deep socket
12 mm socket
10 mm socket
WD-40
Hammer

 

I got quoted about 1thous Canadian for the Nismo Exhaust itself and then about another thous for install. The former I understand but I could not comprehend the install amount.

 

Who the **** quoted you that install price?
