Nothing wrong as far as the Intake hoses themselves are concerned Zed. It is just that the material used by the hoses requires more preparation in order to be treated and painted. The hoses looked great in PW after first layer was applied but Frank noted that the paint would easily crack after a little so he is looking into a way to get around the cracking by further treating the hoses.

Ah, didn't catch you were painting them.

birdmanx1 · 05-15-2011, 09:16 AM

Correct, trying to get some contrast in the engine bay

Thanks B1ades & Zed, I can't wait to see the end result

One more recent shot I like:

birdmanx1 · 05-18-2011, 11:22 AM

5/17/2011 - After some negotiations, I managed to get my exhaust back from rarwz; b1ades joined us during the install. Installation was performed by Frank at Hills Garage. The finish look & performance are outstanding.

Exhaust view from bottom:

Exhaust view from side:

Exhaust view from the back:

Exhaust view from back 2 - rarwz getting exhaust work done as well and b1ades plotting the numbers for his upcoming GTR

Post up that photo of Frank when he was dealing with the demon bolt. Also make a video

Ty Weezy · 05-18-2011, 01:24 PM

Awesome looking nismo birdman! I must ask how is the FI exhaust doing with your drop? My cans sit really low and I am at stock nismo height. This is the only thing holding me back from getting a drop

birdmanx1 · 05-18-2011, 02:55 PM

Here is that pic of Frank dealing with the demon bolt on rarwz's Z With the amount of force and weight he pulled had the bolt slipped he would have went rolling all over

birdmanx1 · 05-18-2011, 02:57 PM

Weezy, thanks for the kind words. With the drop and the exhaust, I stand somewhere around 3.5" clearance. Driving around after install, I didn't have any issue over bumps and I cleared my driveway without any hitch
