yeah actually i'll add something there. This car was never meant to have a true dual setup. All you did is **** up the aerodynamics under the car.. Way to go!! That is so much better!! Hks or a name brand setup that is true dual I wouldn't have a problem with there but still if you researched why they made it single to dual out you'll see it was because of cost, weight and to get the bottom of the car as flat as possible. Please don't put some corvette stingray side exhaust on next or a intake sticking out of the hood. Your too easy!! and for the guy with the comment about how he thinks his z is better then hondas or integras and somehow thinks from what i get that everyone that has one is rice. NOO... When i go to the track I see H swap hatches that will keep up with the z's and is no where near rice. Acura's are just as nice just not as expensive. I respect all kinds of cars as long as it doesn't look like ****. I like them clean.. My friend also has an srt4 that makes 450hp out of a 4 cylinder. I don't discriminate **** man...

yeh you guys are being way to harsh man. At least he made an attempt to try and mod it on his own. Were not all rich enough to buy 1500 dollar exhaust lol. I mean it does look like he screwed it up(no offense). But to learn you must screw it up. He may cost him self some extra money now. But may save him self later from what he learns on his mistake
you guys dont have to be ******** about it... I dont like the idea either, but hey its a stock exhaust... seriously why the f not?
Let him do it, if he doesnt like it then he will learn from his mistake... Half you guys are really interested in the sound... whatever done ranting.

Got everything installed
For all the haters out there glade you did cause im glade to see you support the economy by buying overpriced exhaust for the same result i got if not better. For everyone supporting me Thanks and this mod is well worth it and might put the exhaust companies out of business. I got everything welded up installed and was to quiet personally for me. it was alot louder then stock but decided to kick it up a notch and get the resonator cut off and a straight pipe welded in its place. The result i got was much louder then i thought. The Z sounds so much more aggressive but is also mild when cruising on the highway. For the total of $10.00 for two cut off wheels, $25.00 for friend to weld it. and another $25.00 for the resonator delete. For $60.00 i got a sleeper exhaust system that screams like hell. sure beats a 600.00 or more aftermarket system. Idk why someone didn't think of this sooner!! Already raced a STI on the way home from picking up my brothers 240 and he thought it was sick.

guess he aint the only one... things like this have been done before, but you got lots of arrogant characters here that start to resemble vette owners. but some sound clips and vids are being requested...

so where are the updated pics? You show the chopped up muffler but not the end result...Just like every thread that starts like this ends with no end result pictures..Im guessing your embarrased about the final product? Otherwise you would keep us visually updated.
I'm guessing it definitely makes this one sound like a hybrid:

JK...I give the guy props for even trying it, and if he likes it and his car doesn't explode...+1 for the OP
