Question 03 touring exhaust question

Was there any difference in exhaust between the different models offered by nissan? I own a 03 touring and was wondering how to tell if its original exhaust. If it is original is it worth spending 800 + on a catback exhaust system ? Or should i look elsewhere for HP/TQ. One more question aftermarket headers worth it or not?

The underside of the 350Z is functionally the same from 2003 thru 2006. For OEM vs aftermarket purposes, take a look at the maintenance manual.

Wow really feeling the love, I did use the search engine and found some similar but none answered exactly what i was looking for. Im sure there are some there but i put in 5 mins of searching didnt find what i wanted and put up a thread. Just b/c i dont have 5000 posts doesnt mean im a forum newb, just a 350z newb. Thanks for the advice dave but please answer the questions or atleast learn how to shorten what your trying to say. You posted a 11 line statement that could of been done in 2. BTW im 23 and my daddy didnt buy my Z either.

You know, if I would have posted that, no one would have suggested I become a mod. To the OP, THERE IS AN ENTIRE SECTION OF THIS FORUM DEDICATED TO THE INTAKE/EXHAUST. Please enjoy your stay here at the wonderful world or MY350Z.com

All the exhausts are identical. The differences in the vehicle trim are only VDC, brakes, leather, HIDs, nav etc. You can find less expensive exhausts if you look around, get one used or get in on group buys. Just be patient and keep your eyes open.

Depends if you're spending that $800 *JUST* for hp/tq gains. A lot of people get an exhaust for more than just hp gains -- they may enjoy the looks and the new exhuast note, etc. There are a lot more ways to spend $800 and get more hp bang for your buck than an exhaust. A JWT popcharger and/or plenum spacer will net you more gains for less than half that price. I would probably do those mods first if you're looking for performance. I don't think headers do much for the Z and some make the Z *lose* hp as well. Take a look in the intake/exhaust section; there's a great sticky on top there where you can take a peek at all the different exhausts offered for our Z.
