Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - Exhaust Gaskets and Nismo Third Muffler Bracket

I’m trying to install an OEM Nismo exhaust from a 2014 Nismo onto my 2015 Sport. I wanted to do this the right way and keep things looking stock. I noticed a third bracket on the exhaust and didn’t want to mount it without the necessary support. I ordered the bracket, bolts, and hanger directly from Nissan.

I got my parts but I have a small issue. The exhaust support bracket seems to be thicker and has a head on it that won’t fit into the rubber hanger. I checked all of my part numbers.

I purchased the part mentioned above from amazon but its way different. It’ll fit the support bracket no problem but I’m unsure of how to mount it and if it will have issues long term. Plus it’s not OEM which is kind of the point.

Any advice? Should I just try to push out the metal insert in the OEM hanger?
