This is a quote from Avalon Racing (taken from http://www.350zforum.com)

"As soon as the cars start being delivered, We will have JIC coilovers and titanium exhausts ready to go. These have been test fitted by JIC already. Besdides my personal one coming, we are getting one to build."

 

All I care about is Nismo - I want my warranty in tact for resell value :P

 

An aftermarket exhaust won't kill your warranty if that is your worry.

 

How much more are we talking for a titanium compared to the stainless steel? and how much weight savings? Does it emit a different sound due to the metal or is that all based on internal baffling (just thinking that a different metal would emit a different sound).

 

*rub-hands-together*
That's wut I'm talkin' about...

 

I saw a price for the NISMO titanium exhaust, and it seems like it was well over a 1000 bucks, maybe even 2. I have also seen titanium mufflers weighing 2-3 lbs. The sound should not be any different.

But, I would like to eliminate some weight from the front, not the rear to get the weight as close to 50/50.

 

$2000?! Goodddd lawwwdDDDD!!!

Is that COMPLETE exhaust?! I mean piping and all? If not - good LORD that's expensive.

 

It is $1800+ bucks and it says it is a "muffler" only. I will try to post a link to the thread, if it does not work, do a search for titanium exhaust, it is in 2 posts by FairladyZinJapan..https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....tanium+exhaust

 

For $2000 get some liposuction to take weight off your fat butt, that will make the car go faster.

 

A complete waste of money as far as I'm concerned.

It's one thing to install a CAT back system which reduces back pressure and increases HP. But a titanium muffler? For a show car, maybe.

 

That really made me laugh but it is exactly what I intend to do...not the lipo part..just taking some weight off my fat *** part

 

according to the picture, it says 50% lighter.

 

How will they have coilovers available when the Z doesn't use them? From the 14 min video, it looked like the sping and the strut (or shock. I get them confused) are separate.

 

Most cat back systems do not affect warranty...but in states like California they do have to be approved (called an EO or exemption order). Initially all systems may be sold for "off highway use only".
Take a deep breath and understand that NISMO stuff may not be readily available for a year or so. All items will probably be available as special orders, but plan on them being for racing purposes only.
Also with the yen getting stronger, two grand may be low for the titanium muffler now.
Have I been wrong in the past?
BTW: JIC/Zeal spares are available through Stillen.

Rxo.
Okay I'm understanding the deal with Nismo. I'm just going to have to pick my upgrades uh... "price consciously"? $2k for a muffler is nto in my league. Now get me a part that actually noticeably IMPROVES performance and tack a $2k cost on it and I'm all about it!

Considering that Nismo product installs will keep the car under warranty it'd be nice to see maybe 2 tiers of products... serious racers and enthusiasts? I'd be an enthusiast with my Z going to the track maybe here and there on the weekends.

Anyway... that $$$ buckage

 

$2k for a muffler is stupid.

 

For $2000.00, they better throw in a gigantic statue!

 

Is that Clark Kent?? Sure looks like it without the glasses.
