No i have 5Zigen 19" ZR520+ wheels and Eibach springs, no rubbing issues and sits great IMO.

yeh it's so tempting to get paul to do alot of the bits as the finish is great. i'm definitely going to get the door switches done i think. The door swithches eh... People at wales might be able to see those fitted... And the strut cover looks great, on the top of my list.

They are completely different in a ragtop to a coupe. The noise inside is a fair bit louder on a couple, so i would honestly say you need to listen to one before deciding... Wales next weekend would be an ideal way to see a few different ones in action. With my buddyclub i have a fair stereo in the car now and i9 have to have it LOUD for it to be distinct over the exhaust even just cruising.

Not sunday, its his one day a week off. He wil be about all other times tho, maybe still now too. Im there all day on tuesday ...

Well done lads, i was just about to say TGM Sport in fleet. Im friends now woith the owner, a great bunch. If you need any info on them give me a pm. They will happily fit parts not supplied by them, however i think you would find their parts prices very competative aswell...

So guys can we clarify this as its only next week! What time are we meeting at J13 M4 Chievely services, and who... What time J8a M40 services (what are these called) and who there? If we can have exact times then i will know how early i need to get up in bournemouth!

indeed it would be, i was hoping to try and have a lok at it when up on the ramps next week, identify where it vibrates and wrap that section.. We shall see, i dont mind the ratle as i know its a race exhaust sound, but to a lot of people it sounds like a loose exhaust or something

Mine arrived this morning, cheers paul. Will put up some pics when fitted.

And no not in the 350z, but overall 350's are relatively 'quiet'. I used to get pulled in my integra with the same buddy club exhaust but thast was a fair bit louder. Also even then they didnt actually do anything... the car passed MOT so i dont think they actually can do anything.

I think yours will be louder, I'd even go as far as yours will be louder than mine If its louder then i feel sorry for you when you drive Dont be mate i love it!

Thats my point chris, Tom got sent a full race ehaust to use on his teg and it vibrated rediculously as the metal was so thin and it resonates so much. I dont mind it too much but the rattle resonance is loud on mine at certain revs!

I'm going to be interested to se how the K1 sounds compared to my buddy club!

Its a race exhaust if you have bungs in or no noise limit. Most true race exhausts make a lot of vibration etc.. due to the constraints of flow and weight etc... Its really not that much of a street exhaust. It only gets 'VERY' hot if i am using the car so to speak... Oh an no, not near the tank or anything else, fitment was absolutely perfect. Has a Huge bore too.

Agreed, i personally love the kit and would have it if i had thousands of pounds spare!

Dependant on the bungs they sometimes dont do a lot. With the 5Zigen they made it very quiet, with the buddy club i have they make basically no difference

Indeed very thin, resonates a lot and is Loud! I worry if it was wrapped it might get too hot and disintigrate! The tac welded name plates on the decats have 'melted' off already...

I might heat wrap my entire system in the hope it gets rid of some of the vibrations! But am wondering if this is a good idea, it gets stupidly hot as it is...

My opinion would be try a car with one fitted before you decide. It can make a normal exhaust sound loud inside and a loud exhaust unbearable and unuseable, as you cant literally hear ANYTHING!

The std manis have what seems to be a double skin, very small bore and the 2 layer outer works a bit like sound deadner... Aftermarket ones wont have this and as such you will get noise and resonance up front = noise inside. I have changed manis on a few cars in the past, and in all of them it doubled or more the internal noise level, in my teg it was near to deafening... I will be very interested to hear these in marks before i go for any!

Feel for you mate, mines chipped but that must be demoralising.

I'm interested to see/hear the difference mark, i think you will get a lot more cabin noise with these changed... I might get some when the sports CAT's go on.

Indeed get the bungs out! So many of us at Wales with loud exhausts this time, you wont hear yours with the bungs in

Chris OT what time do you start work! I always see you at stupid time of the morning! Oh and i think your tyres are in at TGM, when are you going along?

Good to see someone else struggling themselves. I managed my 5Zigen to Buddy club swap, including the y pipe in about 1hr 30mins
