put mine on , and noticed today that it hits the rear bumper and is melting the plastic. what can I do to lessen this problem, in other words, how can i make it seperate a bit from the bumper so it doesn't hit it and melt it??

 

what muffler did you put on? I ran into the same problem with mine. The aftermarket muffler is smaller than the stock muffler, thats why that happens. I'm having my back bumper repainted because it had a ton of scratches and when it was repainted it didnt match the metal flake. i could have that part cut a little when its repainted. not sure otherwise. i wanted to weld the stock hangers to the aftermarket muffler...try that?

 

I put on the axle back shown in page 1, but I haven't tried welding the stock hangers. i am thinking of bending the two hangers closest to the bumper a bit first to give the muffler a bit of space, so as to not melt the bumpers plastic again.

 

let me know how that works out. Im having the same problem with the melting...if possible i dont want to cut anything.

 

I ended up bending the passenger side hanger so the muffler would sit lower, since the right side was the part that hit. I believe i bent the hanger up a little. Be careful because the welds holding the hangers on are not very strong, so too much pressure can break the welds off. So do this at your own risk.the tipnow has a bit more space between it and the bumper, and only a small bit of plastic melted onto the tip.

On another note, I love how subtle the sound of the exhaust is. Not too loud, and just right. I also like that the whole exhaust tubing is mandrel bent. Other than the weak hanger welds, I have no other complaints. As has been mentioned before, it is a good product for the price

 

this is the sound i want nothing wild and i dont think there is any performance gains right. would i be getter off with the or a super turbo?

 

I just ordered that muffler as in that video, dunno how it will sound on a 3.0 but at least i wont scrape it off everything like my flowmaster 60 series.

 

I have it on my 3.0 (stock y/cat/b-pipe) and I really like the way it sounds. Not too loud, but loud enough when accelerating, also no rasp at all on mine

 

Great, cant wait to get it, How do you think it will sound if i remove the resonator?

 

Raspy.

 

ewww

 

Probably louder as well.

 

i want to avoid raspy at all cost, i just want a deep growl

 

Well i just finished with the order and will have it in like 7 days, Ill put some vids up whenever i get it.

 

here is a vid of it on my 3.0 5th gen(for those of you wondering how it would sound on the VQ30). Just have a GAB, everything else is stockhttp://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v2...t=MVI_0741.flv. the exhaust tone get a little lower after it has been on for a while.

 

thanks man i cant wait now, only thing i did to my intake was to drill 3 1¼ holes in bracket that supports the oem filter. a few more days!! btw did you have to bend the brackets at all so it dont hit the bumper?

 

yes I bent down the front ones a bit, but be careful as the welds that hold them together weren't too strong on mine(had to re-weld one of them)

 

I'll keep a eye out for that, thanks for the heads up.

 

Wed the 8th, It will be here, ill post a vid in member rides along with pics when i install it later.

HI you guys, I'm new to the forum and i am looking to buy a new cat-back with a deep throaty sound with a good performance.
I was looking into cat-man cat-back and GReddy but the price is too high.
Megan sounds like a reasonable price and in eBay they have that tsudo N1 cat-back for 100 bucks, good price but is it reliable?
Any suggestions would help. Thanks
