Well, here's an update. I have installed the 370z Tomei and it sits way better than the 350z version (as expected). The downside to this is that I scrape everywhere and everything. Friend was riding his bike back behind me and said he just saw sparks fly while I was driving on a perfectly smooth surface.

Are you lowered at all? Or stock ride height?

This is why I didn't go to the Z34 version.

Yeah, I didn't think it would be that low but I fixed it... I just took a hose clamp and pulled the exhaust up. So far no scrapes! I will need some loctite to hold that screw in place so it doesn't loosen over time though.

I am lowered on coilovers.

I would like to see a picture of your setup in order to replicate it. I would like to quit scraping as well. :tup:

Sure thing. I'll take a pic later today and edit this post later!

How much quieter is the exhaust with the silencer in it?

cranzy 07-26-2015 12:48 PM
I have the same issue. It sits way too low and I'm scraping like a mofo. My car is lowered 1 inch but I don't have coilovers =.=

Where can I find the oversized hose clamp?

Which springs are you running?

It is still quite loud but noticeably more quiet. You will still turn heads and might get complaints but still slightly more quiet.

I actually got these at Home Depot. They were like $2 so... relatively cheap fix although I wish they would have made the exhaust with this in mind instead of have it scrape the ground when lowered. I had higher expectations from Tomei.

Okay, thanks! I had been looking all over for these but I guess I was looking at the wrong place:tup:

No problem! Hope it fixes the problem as it did mine to some extent. The only thing that I will say is that as you tighten it more the pipe near the y-pipe will touch the heat shield. Nothing major but you will hear the occasional rattling.
