Here is my setup, HKS single:

 

omg

this is the ugliest Z ive ever seen...

 

i actually think it looks badass.

 

Hah, that's what I was thinking. I am always amazed at how peoples views and opinions can differ on this board.

Jun - On a side note, nice looking car. Simple and clean. I noticed your running KDW2's. Nice choice. You car is shockingly similar to mine. I also love that exhaust, and I think the single exit looks awesome. The pro-1 is an awesome exhaust, but I may get tired of all of the cabin drone soon. If I don't insulate the crap out of my hatch area soon, I might be putting a set up like yours on.

Check out the 4th pic down.

PS. Just a random question, how come everyone makes the single exit exhaust come out of the driver's side?

 

Thanks! Your ride is nice and clean! I was actually contemplating on buying/putting the center lip cover on the car

About the exhaust side, I think it's because it's closer to the midpipe and there are less bends. If its on the right side, there would be more bends on the pipe.

Just look at the picture of your exhaust, you can see that the pipe has to really bend if it exits on the right side:

 

Makes sense. Thanks.

Just a word of advice, if you do put the black out on the center lip, don't do it any other than buying a carbon fiber lip. I started out with an overlay on it, and it looked like @ss up close. Right now, it's painted gloss black. It only took about 2 weeks before I had enough rock chips on it to make it look like swiss cheese and the white shows through. So once again, it looks like crap. I will buying a real CF lip very soon.

Nobody knows the size of the wheels and tires?

 

I'd agree. Reminds me of all those slammed fartsack hondas I see on the streets with -10 degrees of camber.

I wonder how traction is on 4 inches of tire tread.

 

Hehe, i guess my car wouldn't qualify some of your tastes, but that's ok.

We all have our own opinions.

 

Finally we are releasing our 3" single exhaust. We are targeting this to be in the $400+ range which is an awesome price for what it is. A complete stainless steel mandrel exhaust system made in the USA.

 

Pics and videos when?

Maybe. Negative camber is one thing... driving around looking like your axles are snapped in half is another.

I'm sure your car doesn't look as bad as the one pictured above.

 

Those are Volk Racing CE28N in 19x9.5 +22 front and 19x10.5 +22 rear. Tires are probably 255/35/19 and 275/35/19. The wheel color is odd as it looks like extra dark bronze. It must be a custom color or photoshopped. These wheel sizes can't be tucked into the fender like that without at least 4 degrees of negative camber.

As for the topic on hand, I think the Z looks fine with a single exhaust. Less weight is really good for acceleration once traction is secured. Cornering balance is probably slightly degraded with more front weight bias, though. I guess you choose your poison.

 

Hey guys...posted pictures of my car with the new single exhaust. Check it out.

 

nice....?

 

dang everyone has the sigle hks carbon TI. i only got it to work with my turbo but damn even the NA guys are making the switch,...looking good guys. dual is OUT, single is in!

 

maybe too late, but i have a video of the 5zigen pro-racer X-tube single exit, and it sounds friggin great

 

here are some videos of my car, you can hear the HKS exhaust:

Holy **** that sounds good. Are you running high flow cats, headers, or any kind of test pipes? I might have to trade my pro-1 out for that thing.

-Acree

 

no headers, just Mine's testpipes and the full exhaust
