I didn't, and now the part of the exhaust that is touching the brace has a lovely dent in it. Oh well...

Yeah, like I said I spun the pipe ever so slightly so it wouldn't touch. I am not grinding or bending the bracing to make anything fit, just not my cup of tea. I called Z1 today to inquire about if the can is titanium or thin wall stainless and they believe it is thin wall stainless. I got a lovely dent the diameter of a golf ball and about half an inch deep right in the bottom of the car from some **** roads on Saturday. Was pissed. But anyways I talked to them about it and they did what I was planning on doing when I go get tuned on the first and fabbed a little skid plate and have it tacked on to the bottom of the can. They have scarped theirs numerous times and did the skid plate thing also.

Abm89 how did you bend it? This is my problem now. I can't even get the bar to go over the exhaust and to be even close to bolting up so it needs a pretty severe bend in it. My other option is having a buddy just make me a brand new bent bar or something. Idk just tossing up ideas since I'm close friends with a fab guy

Z1 runs it on their race car BTW. It is race proven I guess you can say. I am going to be contacting them again about getting some pictures of the mini skid plate they fabbed up for the bottom of the can so I can duplicate it.

Also that's an expected result of installing an exhaust designed for the Z33. |

Without the bar my Z feels way too soft like it has a lot of body roll in the rear. I'm having someone notch into mine to see if I can get it to clear. If not then I'll just have a custom bar made or something. My budy offered to hook me up with like 100ft of titanium exhaust wrap, idk if it's worth it or if any of you guys would do it to your exhaust

To me, it's awesome! I grew up lusting over cars with big, single side cans, like the Supra. So having one on my Z takes me back. If there was an easy way to cover or fill the right cutout, I would do it, but no one seems to make a rear lip in that style.
