Nice Z! Exhaust tips are a little crooked. But love the all black theme.

For your exhaust issue, stick a broom stick in there and then pull up or down. That'll help.

Thanks. Ill give the broom stick a try.

The tires are 285-35-18 Nitto 555R2 on front and 305-35-18 Nitto 555R Drags on the rear. I just need a slightly more aggressive alignment and I will be very happy. As for now, it handles like its on rails.
