Hello fellow z owners. I've already searched and didn't get a clear answer on this subject. I want to get it done as my goal is to make the z sound louder/better without spending big bucks. So where should I go and will the people at the place I go most likely know exactly what to do? And what's the best pipe to replace it with?

Thanks

 

Have a muffler shop cut it... simply have them replace it with 2 1/4 inch piping.

Very simple job.

 

R U Sure? because I heard people using different sizes and doing something with the muffler; or is this the best way? I still learning as this is my first sports car.

Evil is correct.

If you just want to remove the resonator, a good muffler can do the work for you.

Yes,...took me 20mins @ Midas

Sounds GREAT!!! I love it,..I don't have that crackling sound that I heard described in another thread!

Makes it alittle louder and not as well---"muffled"

do it!!!Youi'll like it!I don't see how anyone wouldn't

 

thanks alot guys, I can't wait, my first mod of many more to come! I'm getting it done probably mon. or tues. and I'll let yall know the results.

 

Do you guys know if the pitch is higher after the silencer is removed? B/c thats my main concern...i wouldn't mind it being a bit louder...however i won't stand for a higher pitched tone.

 

Its great,..do it,..it is a little louder and more Supra esq sounding on the indside,..but outside is a little Higher but its great!!! Nothing like people are sayin it sounds!!!! I love it!!! Not bad @ all!

 

You can't really tell inside the car. Its such an easy mod, and is so cheap, if you don't like, just simply put it back on. All it is, is just louder and more aggressive. Try, what do you have to loose, $40. There are sound clips, if you don't have luck doing a search, try typing in Presilencer, pre-silencer.

 

Ok the exhaust gets louder. What about hp? I dont think its worth it if there is no increase hp..

 

I have seen a few Dynos on this site, search dyno and presilencer, if i recall right, one dyno 5hp increase, the other 3hp increase

 

its snowing today(mon.) i'm getting it done tom., i'll post results then

 

I went to the muffler shop today and he said to not do it because they only had iron piping or something and that it will rust out in a year or 2; I went to another one and they had stainless steel; i'm starting a new post on this
