hammer to knock off the old muffler. Which means it was not going to
stay on when the v6 starts up.
Also what was not in the photos is what was found when I tipped the old
muffler on its end!!!
A deceased rodent, which was in a state of decay!! The smell made both
myself and Cassey projectile vomit as it was that bad!
Just to show the comparison between the old and the new(er) mufflers.
I rested the 350z muffler on the trolley jack so I didn't wreck myself
when I was pulling and pushing it around under the back of the car.
The tow bar bracket had to come off as it was getting in the way!
Here is the upturned tow bar bracket, I think I will need a rethink on
the way the towbar bracket is structured, so it is straight forward and
easier to fit, and goes aounnd the muffler.
(I'll do that after the car is running but before the mot)
The cars original exhaust hangers are too far in so the muffler is hitting
them so this is what they looked like before they were bent towards the
back of the car.
After a bit of bashing with a hammer and the hangers out of the way.
I took the grinder to the exhaust pipe, this is so I can get the muffler in
and try and plan the exhaust pipe and muffle position.
I then totally removed the old exhaust hanger brackets. Please note the
bolt holes in the frame which are near to where the old exhaust hangers
used to be. These are a possible bolt holes for the new exhaust hangers.
The hangers on the muffler removed it looks like there is much more
space to work with.
The question is do I take it a little further back so it doesn't rub or hit the
spare wheel well?
This would mean cutting into the rear bumper reinforcement.
I will post some sketches later on tonight on how the muffler will hang from
the under side of the car.
I see what you did there.
