i was playing arround with my exhaust seein the different sound combinations i could make on a all stock system...

the one i liked best was removing everything after the Y pipe...

i picked up a few MPG's as well as an almost race car like sound, espically at higher RPM... no rasping that i can tell...

i found myself driving around with window down just to listen to it hehe.. was fun. and VERY loud prolly a ticket magnet but it sounded GOOD unlike the other civic type fart cans arround my area

anyway, does this actually make power since there is about 50 less lbs. and much less back pressure?

i might have a cut out pipe installed for permanent use street/ performance use

are there any negative or damaging effects to anything other than my ears?

any one else do this ? results?

 

there was a clip floating around a few months ago....socalted or something....he had electronic cut outs on his g sedan

it sounded sick but i think he said he lost some low end power so hed have to open the race readies after shifting to 3rd or something i dont remember id have to find the thread

 

electroni cut outs? i think i saw some on ebay pretty spendy but cool...

then i could have another switch installed hehe

 

ya ive seen em on other cars

ive heard the quaility on some of these parts though isnt all that great

 

yep ebay they are $250 they almost look homade i dont think id trust them to make a tight seal on either setting.. i was wanting the kind with a somple screw on plate.

 

ya im sure those would be a better choice

you could run a pipe from the midpipe to right infornt of the driver read wheel

that would look sweet

 

yea it would i think side piped could be nice espically if molded in a body kit..BUT i tried that and the extra tubing of the midpipe turns the sound into far more high pitched raspy farty noise

 

maybe add a connector on the end of the y pipe and pipe it from there?

 

So you are driving a 350Z without a muffler? That sounds like something a kid in a Honda might do to be cool, but not a 350Z. Buy an exhaust system worthy of the 350Z.

 

i think he was doing it for race purposes?

thats why he wants to add a cut out so he can cap it whenever he wants

 

yea thats what i was planning, im probably gonna go Nismo or invidia 200 dual system

but for pure performance... cut outs
