That red Z looks WAY too low. Looks d@mn good but drivability must be non-existent.

Thats what happens when you slam your ride and don't do sh*t to fix your camber. Looks absolutely disgusting to me. Unfortunately it looks like the owner of the car in the picture didn't take this into consideration and bought some low offset wheels. He'd be in trouble if he didn't want to run that retarded negative camber.

As far as the single exit exhaust, I just can't get used to seeing it on the Z. If I was ever entertaining the thought of installing one, I'd have to pay a body man to fill in and repaint one of the holes on my rear bumper.

I think the singles look good. We recently put the 2.5" dual on my car. We are going to test it against the 3" single and see if there is a difference in performance.

Guys, I should clarify. That red car is NOT my car although I think it looks sick. I drive a DB Track Z. However I love that exhaust. I was merely proving a point that single outlet exhausts can look good.

As for which exhaust system that actually is, I have no clue. If someone does I would love to know.

^^ Dual will lose down low, midrange the single makes more TQ, peak hp is about the same, but the TQ falls off slower up top with the dual

The only single i like is that Stillen one in the center with the rear valence I think it looks sick. For the rest i see enough ricers with fart cans already, it just reminds me of them even though I know it's not the same. It's a stigma.

Mandrel bends are different than "staright piped" which means no muffler/resonator. You want mandrel bends over crush bends...

Thats the Blitz Nur Spec exhaust, and as for the whole single exhaust thing, its just my opinion but i just dont think the Z looks right with a single. It was made with a dual it should be replaced with a dual, but thats just one persons perspective.

Yes, you definitely want mandrel bends. The problem is you usually need to go to some type of high performance shop to get it done as muffler shops don't use mandrel bends
