I removed the OE cat brace, cut the bottom dipstick tube bracket where it interferes with the OE wire harness bolting spot, bought the bolt that goes in the available hole on the back of the head thereby bolting the tube there using the tube tab and done. One cut and zero bending.
I wear size XL gloves and can quick access check without issue. Maybe another plus to using the tube that the G37 forum guy did.

Well that's what I get for trying to be cheap
. Who knows what dipstick I have
(see Ebay) but it works for me now
Glad it went smooth for you
. Do you have any pics you could share?
