Thought maybe I would put a thread together about guys or girls who run a custom exhaust set up. If it FAILS i will just delete it lol.

So maybe like post what size piping, picture and if possible a Vid. And then share your experiences. Like give advice. Reason Im making this thread is i wanna go with a custom single well if i can sell my HKS. So let the post begin

 

I have a custom HKS Hi-Power single (stainless).
Piping is custom, 2.5" at the Y-pipe, and then it converts to 3" all the way back.
Also have Mine's test pipes.

Due to the test pipes, there is a little rasp, and it is LOUD.
Like, it-will-make-your-ears-bleed loud, if you are driving next to me and i have it WOT.
But I added the silencer now and it is bearable

Here are some vids when i took it to the track for sound:

How many threads wil you open about custome exhaust? You should be an expert.

Well IMO N/A 2.5 single with TP and also a resonator from magnaflow or any other competitive companys. Just watch out for kinks in the bends because those will disrupt max flow.

Do you know if you can get a manderal(spelling??) bent piping?? Other than that there will be small kinks in the bends probably downsizing the bend to a 2.25 or maybe less???

 

Any 1 else?

 

Then do it! I wouldn't do the 4" like you wanted before but a 2.5 sounds right.. Good luck man.


P.S. If your going custom go for something no one has

 

there's a video of my customized cxlighting exhaust on the ebay thread.

sounds much better than the cxlighting by itself.

will have to get more vids to give idea of the sound.

 

Z04- ok just got back from vacation so i can actually watch the Vid and yea it sounds raspy but I do like it. So what ur saying is its a 2.5" y pipe and converts to a 3" or dual? U got piks?

Wtx- I have not heard the vid yet. Post a clip when u can and a pik of what u did!!

 

no more custom exhaust guys

 

WTF happened to this thread

 

i am really interested in this. i like the single exhaust look but dont really see the point in paying a rediculous amount for a cat back when custom piping and a muffler will suffice just fine.

what do you have done to your Z that made you run 3in all the way back? i was always under the impression that 3 and up is for turbo applications. Not that you couldnt run 3, but you would be losing backpressure by going so big.
