Has anyone taken off their stock axel back exhaust and just ran their car with out an axel back? Is it safe to do this? Will there be enough back pressure so you wont burn any valves? I'm a bit of noob with this stuff... so dont be too harsh.

 

That is obvious.

 

 

Umm,

Why would you want to do that???

 

it sounds great, but you lose alot of low end power. PM me and I can send you a vid. (can't post because of street racing rules)

 

Sorry, it doesn't sound great, not to me anyway. If you search here you will find folks that have already done this and posted pics and videos, and even taken it further and put a straight pipe to finish it to the rear bumper.

 

thanx a lot

 

Backpressure is Bad. Always. Go with a Really big pipe, dual 2.5 maybe up to 3.0inches.

 

I've driven mine with just open headers back from a shop. It's impossibly loud, and vibrates the car so bad you think your mirror is going to fall off.

Horrible.

 

It's not a Mustang with a built engine - turn-downs suck on these cars and ROB you of low end power.

I ran open test pipes for 5 mins, forget that.

 

I said that wrong, I should have said IMO it sounds great

 

prior to swapping in the Nismo exhaust I started her up just out of curiosity, OMG! it was annoyingly loud!

 

sell the Z...


buy a civic....

 

+1

or an SRT4

 

I did , just for a trip to the parts store. Low end was actually not bad at all , but my car didnt like to rev much over 5K. Oh of course it sounded like a open header riced out civic.

 

I think he will be permanently scarred from this for the rest of his life. I guess the right answer would have been "No, nobody's ever done that before. Great idea! What does it slound like? Is it really fast?"

 

 

do you want to buy it from me??? how about 22k? it's a touring with about 60k miles on it. By the way, it is a 6-speed. umm... its orange with burnt leather seats. If you buy it from me for 22k I will throw in free joke book!

 

Actually I heard a a Greddy TT'd G35 with open downpipes and it sounded pretty bad ***. I wouldn't want to drive it around like that, but it would be fun at the drag strip.
