M7 T-Titan Exhaust Fitment for 370z Nismo
Hey Guys,
I just installed a M7 T-Titan cat back exhaust system (thanks genome tuning for the great product!) on my '13 nismo. I noticed that the exhaust tips sit much lower than the stock nismo exhaust. (~1.6inch vs. ~1.1 inch) from the top of the exhaust tip to the exhaust cut out of the bumper. My friend and I thought it was a bit strange that there would be that much gap between the bumper and the exhaust tip. Is this normal? Does anyone else have the same/similar set up/experience? I'm assuming it's fine since both sides are even. The exhaust sounds awesome...so this minor aesthetic concern isn't that big of a deal. I included a picture for reference. Thanks, Nick Last edited by nyching30; 07-21-2014 at 10:47 PM. |

Looks good man, But I would adjust that up a little the gap is a little too big, You should have some as the exhaust gets hot but that's too much,

How can you raise the exhaust? We used the stock exhaust hangers. I couldn't imagine that they'd be stretched out (only two years old).
Any advice is appreciated Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

maybe just use some force and bend the exhaust or hangers to sit correctly. maybe theres a difference in the bumpers and you didnt get the Nismo version exhaust? maybe just poor quality control on the exhaust construction?

There may be a difference in the stock bumper vs. nismo bumper..not sure. There's no other version of the exhaust. I found a different pic on the web (maybe a member's car?) with a similar set up...it's hard to tell if it's around the same height or not. Let me knwo waht you think. Thanks for all your input guys! I appreciate it! |

try a different rubber hanger size one a bit smaller than the stock one. that way you don't have to bend anything. find out the size and go to summit or one of those other racing parts sites.

I was just about to suggest maybe trying to cut a hole in the stock hanger a little higher than the existing one to raise it up some, but Zteve had a better idea lol. Try that out.

Searched around for a bushing like the one holding up the two hangers in the rear. Hard to find since the z's requires a bushing with two perpendicular holes. Bought these
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...uct_refresh_T1 Guess we'll see if it works out. Will update with pics if it works Thanks again for the suggestions! |

You can try the bushings, but why not trying to bend the hanger like a half inch? I had to do that on my old Tanabe cat back on my 350Z?
