JDModified Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Here are some pics I took whilst installing the new blitz exhaust to Gaz's car, either I have the IQ of a chimp or blitz got the fitment a tadge wrong, anyways as promised heres your pics Gaz. James The first lot are how the exhaust looked when offered up using the hanger provided. I welded a new bar to the original hanger and painted it to protect it from rust. Installed it so now we could use the hanger that blitz welded to the exhaust on the oposite side of the back box. So now it sits like: It doesnt sit perfectly central in the curviture of the bumper without forcing it to far right clashing the downpipe into the subfram at the front end. So basically even with some modification i think blitz need to go back to the drawing board or me to school James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 That's a shockingly bad fit direct from Blitz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewen Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 In no techie, but Id say that wasnt designed for a Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDModified Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 In no techie, but Id say that wasnt designed for a Supra. I think it was as everything is just about right including the bends in the right places, mainly its wrong because of the hanger on the back box is welded to the wrong side, the rest i reckon is just missaligned during the bending process, anyways now ive worked some trickery once the car is on the floor you wouldnt know any different, thought i would post this here incase someone was thinking about buying one and doesnt own a welder Im sure Gaz will bring it to their attention and it will be sorted.

lockys96 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 are you sure the downpipe is ,meant to mount to another exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboBrett Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 In no techie, but Id say that wasnt designed for a Supra. funny you should say that, my dad had a nur spec on his scooby and iirc one of the hangers on that was on the wrong side fitted perfect after we moved it tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDModified Posted May 1, 2008 Author Share Posted May 1, 2008 are you sure the downpipe is ,meant to mount to another exhaust I see where your going with that even, if that was the case it wouldnt alter the position of the back box hanger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazzagt4 Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Dont know where you brought it from but why not Give fensport a ring as they are sole importer of Blitz and may be able to help. Is your car a TT or N/A?? as I have been told they are different. Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I supplied the Blitz NUR RX exhaust to Gaz, it is definitely the correct exhaust for a 2JZGTE Supra. I've sold quite a few of these and not heard of any similar fitment problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Nic, I have had many Blitz exhausts on GT-Fours over the years and found them to be the best fitting availiable so was suprised to see this. I will be getting one very soon so was suprised to see this post.It wont stop me from getting one though as my current MiamiGT is a complete nightmare as its far too loud for my ageing years..lol Regards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed blitz products are usually bang on and a pleasure to fit, dont know what happened here but its sorted anyways. James Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wez Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I would get onto blitz, that doesnt seem right Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilverSoop Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I would get onto blitz, that doesnt seem right Yeh good idea, ideally it should point out to the right and fit flush like it did with my n/a. The blitz system is usually very good and ive never known the blitz system to be out like that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucky40 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 My blitz RX fitted spot on with no fiddling. Doesnt sound right to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul372 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 had no probs with mine, yours still dont look quite right mate looks like its sitting back a little to much i would defo look into it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted May 2, 2008 Share Posted May 2, 2008 Cheers for the pics James. As I said, I'm still surprised it didn't fit properly. The fit was one of the reasons I went for the Blitz in the end as on previous cars they've been spot on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
