Default Installed my greddy evo2 exhaust **with video**

Hey guys. I got this exhaust used without the evap relocation kit so I had to create my own kit.

Here are the pics of the install and a video at the end.






















I created the bracket with plumbers tape. It is a little ghetto, but it worked. I will try to fabricate something else to compensate.

Here is the video, my digital camera doesnt work too well with sound but at least it works...

Sounds nice. Does the car have test pipes? Can you rev it higher?

That's the best sounding exhaust I've heard for the Z. Would love to hear it in person.

Thanks for the comments guys. Yes I have test pipes and yes it was kinda cold but I drove a few hours before starting it. It does sound like a bear, I noticed that my resonated "megan racing" are making a crappy noise. I'll replace those tomorrow.

The thing is, cameras really eff up exhaust sound. You loose the depth and ur left with a poopy bassy sound, and thats why it sounds like a bear. I have a feeling of what it sounds like. I bet its loud ><. That exhaust has a very clean setup. ALMOST an x pipe, almost not. If it were an X pipe, i could see tha texhaust as being the most popular for the Z.

Now theres a problem I ran into. The resonator is making noise, it sounds like the cheap megan test pipes that have the cheap resonators. It sounds like beans that are being shaken inside a can. The sound of the exhaust is great except for that annoying rattle of the damn resonator.

I might have my local muffler shop make my exhaust a true dual setup this saturday.

can you post some clips of you driving the car please? this has been the setup I've wanted for awhile, but the only one I've heard prior to yours was Zivman's. He had headers but said that they didn't make much of a difference in sound quality, and your video seems to prove that.

please get some more videos on here, and rev it out more!

thanks,

Chris

my friend's evo2 rubbed against the cross brace in front of the rear axle... that might be causing your rattle... worth a look

hey btw... why does your stock exhaust have two resonators??

I actually fixed the noise today. I guess when greddy made this exhaust system, they made it for a 350z with a cat. Since I have test pipes, there is too much air forcing itself inside that crappy x-pipe design greddy created and it sounds like crap. I had the muffler shop make a custom true dual with two resonators and its perfect now. Not too loud, not too quiet, just right. Here are some pics.

Here is the crappy x-pipe...




Here is what we created.
