looks really nice..but it does look pretty low when on the dyno. And maybe alittle lower than the FI exhaust..hmmm

Looks good, but it also looks one speed bump away from being damaged...

How much clearance is there compared to OEM?

why is it that whenever we are trying to figure out how low something sits all we get are a bunch of under car pictures? Zero perspective, someone needs to get a camera hold it level with the bottom of the bumper and take one picture from the back and one from the side to see how low it sits in comparison to the body work and lower control arm mounts and how far back that drop is to know if it is far enough behind the wheel to hit the pavement when say backing out of steep driveway. that or take a board shove it up to the tires and tilt it to see if it will hit the piping or the bumper first. A friend of mine has an STS 350z and i swear that baby has hit the road a few times but there isn't a scrap on it so it must be a damn near miss.

on my 350, that wasn't lowered I had much more issue with my vertex front bumper than with the charge pipe or turbo. It really doesn't sit that much lower. I had a friend that had 1 inch springs and his didn't give him much problems either just had to watch out for the big speed bumps.

i like my car being low. If this forces me to have to raise my car then..ughh =[

wishihadnav 11-18-2010 05:17 PM

its does look kind of low...might be a good idea to fab up a metal plate/guard that goes under it..

rAiN 11-18-2010 09:56 PM

id go back to stock heigh stock look with just sts sytem

rAiN 11-18-2010 09:56 PM

but g37 is already high with drop to begin with

1slow370 11-19-2010 02:16 AM

it can be low but if it's positioned correctly it won't hit the ground. We need pictures that can show where it actually sits in relation to the rest of the rear end of the car. as for the skid plate idea, that would have to be one hell of a skid plate to be able to gaurd the turbo from a speed bump google up some rock guards for 4x4's and you'll see what i mean 16Gguage would just buckle and it would still hit the turbo and thats .06 thick.

wishihadnav 11-19-2010 04:29 PM

yeah i agree the plate would have to be hella thick..

What size intercooler piping is being used, 2.25 or 2.5"? Thanks

1slow370 11-21-2010 03:15 AM

it should be small no bigger than the size of the turbo outlet, on a RMT this reduces boost loss and increases response, if they are running an intercooler with a single outlet then it should be about 3in out of the intercooler then y off into two pipes the size of the throttlebody OD.

rAiN 11-21-2010 01:32 PM

i bet this system is LOUD
