Can exhaust tips be bent out?

[jumping350]

Bit of a strange one here..i want my exhaust tips slightly further apart (an inch each way) do you think if i heat the bend up i will be able to pull them out that far? or will they eventually just go back to there normal position, or will i end up with one tail pipe and bend section in my hand and one on the car

or is cutting and welding it back in position the only way

Thanks for any help

This has got fail written all over it

maybe but was just a question

Why do you want to bend them out ?

Why do you want to bend them out ?

for my rear bumper project, exhausts are sitting too in so an inch out either way would be perfect if not will do a custom jobby with a 370z exhaust just looking at options really

[Neilp]

The only option is to cut and reweld where it comes out the rear silencer. Its very hard to bend an exhaust without ruining the shape and flow of it.

 

Hope you get it sorted mate

[Neilp]

have you put a 370 rear bumper onto your car?

[jumping350]

ive cut the bottom section off and bonded to a 350z bumper looks ok actually just got to get the exhaust sorted then will hopefully be finished for blending/spraying etc

I think cutting and welding new pipes would be a better option. If your thinking about staying standard you could get some nice tips if your not a fan of the standard ones.

I'd say it's a cut and shut job. But there should also be plenty of 70 back boxes knocking about.

cheers for help guys il get some pics up soon am still at Olympics till tommorow, yeah ive seen a few second hand 370z boxes knocking about already, just a case of breaking hanger rails and rewelding in 350z spots and custom centre pipe..though do have a cpl of 350 rear boxes that i might cut/weld in mean time for temporary use..just a shame i like my fujitsubo but may be made redundant when the new rear end goes on
