mr v6 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 Now I'm no stranger to mechanics or repairs etc, but I've been in 2 minds about doing this to my Z. After thinking about it for the last 9 months I've decided I want to go ahead & get it done. Mine has an Ark Grip system, but as I don't own a drill or anything, I was just wondering if there was anyone in the Manchester, Altrincham, Sale or Urmston areas who've done this before, who wouldn't mind doing it for beer tokens on mine.

kbeast35 Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 All you need is a screwdriver and some cable ties, if you search the guides section you'll find one there in how to do it, it takes around 10 minutes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taybo Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) I did it to mine but not in your area. If you can borrow the tools it's dead easy to do. Great exhaust choice btw ;-) Edited June 10, 2017 by taybo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stan Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Easiest job to do after the stubby swap, 2 screws to undo, lift it up to the existing higher holes, bolt/cable tie in place, job's a good'un Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr v6 Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 I don't like the idea of the sagging so would like to do it properly, but at the same time I don't like the idea of drilling the bumper if I want to revert it back . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Payco Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Best exhaust.Had and loved it on my 350z have brought one to go on my 370z Nismo.Looks and sounds amazing. Edited June 13, 2017 by Payco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr v6 Posted July 2, 2017 Author Share Posted July 2, 2017 (edited) Thanks for all the replies. I bit the bullet & borrowed a drill & bits yesterday. I used 3x self tappers with washers & got the following result. Then a further half hour with Megs NXT metal polish to bling the rear section up, must say it looks great. I wasn't a lover at first because once you start drilling there's no going back.

GMballistic Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Very nice mr V6. Glad you went for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HEADPHONES Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Now anyone driving behind you has the intimidating view of what appears to be a couple of Gatling guns pointing back at them A definite mandatory mod for owners of such a fine exhaust in my opinion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDMetal Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 nice! It suits the ARK perfectly, I've pondered it but with the invidia its not such a cool sight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mik Du Posted July 4, 2017 Share Posted July 4, 2017 (edited) I like this look A LOT. I'm going to have an initial poke around with mine this weekend. Edited July 4, 2017 by Mik Du Typo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One thing I'm going to have to do, because we all want to know what it's like to be behind the wheel of the car behind looking at the Z's rear, is hand the key over to my sister, only so she can drive it slowly so I can exactly see from the rear, what others are seeing. I'm not one for handing any of my car keys to anyone, but I totally trust my sister, she was used to a 400bhp Evo last year.
