You are gunna have to add some washers on the left side to balance out the distance to the bumper.

Does it stick out too far for you? You'd probably have to have that trimmed if you dont like the length..

Tried adding washers, no luck, it seems that the flange is just misaligned, I'm thinking that I might send it back.

Well, I finally got it to fit well.



Sounds awesome too, at cruising RPM (2K) it is very quiet inside the cabin, but when you open her up, she screams. Big thanks go out to Will at Top Speed for sending pics of their install.

Are these the ones made for the NISMO? They stick out a lot.

Nope, just the style, I'm not a huge fan, but at least I won't get black soot build up on my bumper. If it bothers me too much i can just have the local muffler shop cut the tips down.

I'm pretty sure the TopSpeed exhaust is made for the NISMO model only. It wouldn't fit the standard bumper very well.

OP, you can try bending the hangers a bit to see if it'll get it to pull in whichever direction you need it to go to.

The Nismo and non Nismo rear section ends practically in the same spot, meaning your exhaust will dump out at the same spot, granted the Nismo has larger tips. It would make sense if this axle back is designed for a Nismo rear considering the larger rear. valence/bumper, but even with that it would still have a "protrude" look. Maybe it's just more exaggerated on a non Nismo bumper

Well, apparently Top Speed started making a version for Nismo and non-Nismo, I asked them and they said they sent me the one for non-Nismo. I did end up getting it to fit. Here is a pic, I posted a video above.
