Nice

For most east coast folks, that's like crossing two states the distance between you and I. LOL

Looks like you got lucky with your set. Before my Berks, I had the Arks as well and the fitment wasn't good period. The bolts were too narrow and had to be drilled so that I could even bolt the thing up. And the bolt pattern was in a way where there was no mistaking which side is the right side. The two pipes also were not symmetrical and after many tries could not get the pipes to sit right. The left canister would hang much lower than the right.

I agree the sound is really nice though.

Really looks nice! Sorry you had a douche bag for a mechanic.

I'm no mechanic, but even I learned on my only exhaust installation, that you have to put it together, THEN tighten it all down...check for leaks etc etc....

Not sure what happened there.

Sorry to hear that. How long ago did you purchase yours? I did read that in the beginning, they had fitment issues. Everything is resolved, now, pretty much. Buyers just need to be aware that before tightening all the bolts, aligned all the pipes first! lol

I don't know how interested you are, but on Thursday nights, there is a car meet in Lake Worth that is pretty nice. I'm usually the only 370Z out there, though. ^^

If you happen to know of any from Boca Raton south, let me know! I live in Boca Raton, FL.

There is a group called "NISFLO". Look them up on Facebook. They usually have meets every week. They're local to Ft Lauderdale/Sunrise, I think.
