Uneven Exhaust - 2011 Base Model

Nissans factory attempt at getting rid of that evil "rasp"

Let me get this straight (oops, sorry! Bad joke). The tips are uneven in terms of how far they project from the valance, but not in terms of height? I'm trying to figure out how this could be. I could see how hanging high on one side could lead to what you describe, but you'd see it from the back, not just from above.

Have you jacked it up on stands and crawled under to see if a hanger is jammed?

Oh and

The passenger side sits a little higher when looking straight on (as well as being pushed in farther when looking from the top). This picture doesn't represent well, but you can see it.

Humm, yeah I see what you are talking about in your second pic and 3rd pic.

Same here. I have a 2011 and my exhaust is also uneven. Driver side tip sticks out further than the passenger side tip. I've had the car up on a lift and tried everything to try and even them out but nothing worked. I thought it was just mine.

My 05 350z had uneven exhausts big time. I think my 09 370z barely has it. I never would have noticed in either cases but my eagle eye brother was quick to point it out.

I don't even care.

I'm part of the eagle eye gang unfortunately. It bugs me...no reason why it should be uneven. Not sure the dealer will even try to fix though.

This is the closest I ever could get the exhaust to being level. I even had an exhaust shop try to even it out and that was all that could be done:

Same "problem" on my 11'. The tips stick out evenly from the bumper but if you look at it from behind, the driver side is a little lower than passenger side.

kenchan · 04-05-2011, 03:22 PM

huh, that's werd.

do a WTB in the for-sale section for 2009-2010 stock muffler. im sure there are people who wants to sell (or maybe even give away) theirs.
