First mod i've done to my z. I got it done this tuesday. I am VERY pleased with the outcome. This video shows how it sounds in various conditions, as well as the construction under the car. Ace Muffler here in San Diego did an OUTSTANDING job. It looked like a work of art!

Tell me what you think!

EDIT: Whops! Forgot the specs. The piping is 2.5" in diameter from the cats all the way back. Its a dual in, dual out magnaflow canister after a custom Y "pipe" fitting. No resonators, OEM tips.

There's an "updated" video after a decent break in period. Forgive the cheeziness. I'm a big fan of Wangan Midnight. It was recorded as a spur of the moment thing with my friends N95 Nokia.

 

not bad. sounds pretty good. I'm not sure if i like the look from the rear though.

 

+1 Sounds pretty good. But I was expecting to see a 370Z cuz you posted this in the 370Z section.

 

WHOPS!

Sorry! mod move this plz? lol

 

sounds nice! How much did the whole setup cost including labor?

 

Notice a difference in power? You gonna dyno it anytime soon?

 

I felt like i was watching some sappy love story where the husband died, whats up with the music?

The car sounds fantastic tho. Great job.

 

Ill be posting my exhaust soon too. Making my own 3" catback.

 

Not bad at all. Your video editing skills are pretty good, too.

 

it was $700. out the door.

I felt a HUGE difference. Theres so much more instant torque now. second and third gear are AMAZING.


Nightmares on Wax, son. Recognize lol


Thanks to all the compliments!

 

Looks Like ur UNCLE really took C.A.R.E of You

 

Yeah.. $700 is a ripoff...
110 bucks for the muffler
100 bucks for piping
about 2 hours worth of welding and bending pipes.
having your uncle take care of you... priceless

 

That does seem like a lot but it sounds good and your happy so it was worth it.

 

Good job! there R-I-C-E BO"Y!

That's all we need more kid's! with GETTOE MODS flacking!! the 350Z name.

 

wow all that with stock exhaust tips? how ghetto.

 

That's a lot of cash for custom. I'd expect 300 tops. Are there exhaust flanges there to take the exhaust off?

 

sounds good. not sure what the big deal with him using oem tips? it sounds 10x better than some of the other exhaust being done. im really surprised it doesnt sound raspy without resonators.

 

......i don't see a 370Z?

 

He charges 700 out the door. I paid less than Cost. I do graphic design and I did work + some change for the exhaust. If it were YOU it would be 700 dollars.

Thanks for your concern. I am very happy with it. But dont worry, i didnt pay that much for it. Thats just what he wants me to quote people with.

You are a douche.

And so are you.

Exactly. I've heard same exact setups with different tips that sound HORRIBLE. I dont know why the tips make such a huge difference. I really do love the tone the stock tips give. thats the reason why I used stock tips. I'm not trying to defend myself, im just explaining a cost breakdown. I could have included a few extra bucks for tips, but it would have been a waste of money for me.

I posted the video so people can hear/see first hand, maybe if they were considering it. Im not trying to impress ANY of you. So if you want to go bend over for a fast intentions exhaust, or another similar "custom" exhaust for over 800 dollars. be my guest.

Thanks for the compliments.

 

Oh sorry I missed this. Yes. There are flanges so it comes off.
