It actually sounds a lot better than I thought. The last time I heard a flowmaster on a Z, I heard rattling all over the place, like someone kicking around a tin-can. I wanna see some acceleration videos inside and outside the Z, because it's gonna sound different "under-load" and that's what people are gonna be hearing while you're driving.

so let me get this right, you're saying:
a tacked on muffler for 450 is a good deal but a full cat back exhaust that was designed specifically for the 350Z for 1k is a bad deal
is that right?

Well I bought the muffler at retail price from the shop .. just didn't feel like waiting on ebay. The muffler was $200 .. the install was $250 for a "customer job" which is a rip off because all they did was just weld maybe 2 pipes.
Anyone familiar with the pricing? How much does a shop charge to install that setup normally?

that looks like an 80 series muffler to me I dont see any 40 series mufflers that route the exhaust that way besides the 80 series which is made to mount transversely like that... are you positive its a 40 series?
dont get me wrong I like how it sounds I just really want to know what muffler that is
