Well then your best bet is a local muffler shop. Or try it yourself (it really isn't that hard as long as you can jack the rear of the car up safely)

If you still want to drive over here for a shop, you can try mufflersandmore.com or gilsonmotorsports.com

Both are shops that local members have had good experience with.

^^ Why so urgent?

Gaskets, you can use RTV high temp copper sealant in place of a gasket. You will probably need bolts and nuts. Go with lock washers and nylon lock nuts. Lee can tell you about missing exhaust bolts.

Install time on a lift takes about 1 hour. On a garage floor, 2-3 hours. I suggest you go to Mufflers and More in Walled Lake. Super guys who will take care of you.

Finally installed my Tourenn rear bumper. I had to modify the center portion to clear the Greddy EVO II exhaust and open up the middle. It's not the best fit. Especially at the turn signals lenses and there's too much of a gap at the trunk. I'll look to see if there are stops that can adjust the trunk height. The lower flares are exactly what my car needed and the black center lip completes the theme with the V2 front bumper.

Hey guys, I have a 2008 350z and I've finally ordered a set of Eibach Pro-Kit Springs. I know you guys always give great advice and I'm wondering if someone would be interested in installing the springs. I have no problems driving to your location/garage.

Might be interested. Wife's grandma died a couple hours ago. Not sure what's going on yet. Most likely, I will have her fly down using my miles. So maybe it will be me and the daughter.

Some of us might gather Friday night and hit Woodward Ave. It would be good to meet some new Z folk.

Phreak, I knew you were going to say that. I'm trying to get it done as soon as I can. I just ordered a set of 19" Tenzo Type M Version 1 and I want to drop my car first. Hope I'm not asking too much.

Ive been way more busy than I want to be for the summer. I have an internship in Grand Rapids and have been working a lot of hours.

if anyone is from the grand rapids area let me know.

I have been saving up to go FI and picked up a UTEC last week. I will be selling my Turboxs exhaust to replace with a single and also some brand new resonated test pipes, if anyone is looking to pick some up let me know.











I also ended up getting 10mm spacers in the rear and it seems to look flush now in case anyone has Rotas and wants a clean look I would def. recommend them.

Brian sorry about your Wife's mother. Send my condolences to her....

Anyways, whoever wants to meet up tonight we could meet around Novi/Farmington area first for dinner, then all drive to Woodward after.

What say you folks? I'm free after 7:30 or so

PS ~ I'm always up for installing somethin
