This is why I have been considering getting rid of my Z. No matter how clean I keep mine, the majority of new Z owners are ricers. The Z is officially the new Honda Civic

OP, you will need to repair or replace. If you want your z as loud as possible, ISR (formerly ISIS) does have a blast pipe that is safe to use. In other words, it won't dump exhaust gases in the cabin. The vents for the z are in the back of the car, right behind the wheel well area.

Breathing exhaust fumes isn't necessarily a bad thing for some people.

Thats weak sauce. Remove the headers, cats and every exhaust component to maximize the power and sound.

It's only the 1st post so I can't imagine "slapping my Gramma"...
Until posters have a history, it's impossible to separate owners vs trolls.

Yeah, you're right. Maybe we could make a rule. If your first post looks like a troll post, then instant PERMA-BAN.

I wasn't a pro, but I also wasn't retarded and started cutting my car up without first trying to learn or research.

Typical ricer. Budget mods and no clue how things work. Then get butthurt when you are told what you did was stupid.

Your car isn't slower, it's just a false sense of quickness. Most loud cars are fast, so yours sounds faster, but it's not.

I've cut mufflers off before, but immediately put them back on. People used to tell me, "if you can't afford to do it right, don't do it at all"

It's true, but don't confuse doing it right with doing it the most expensive way.

I feel bad now

Ok I'll help, you ruined your exhaust... You should probably replace it, or weld up your angle grinder work.
