before u make it quiet and get the leaks fixed make a Vid

 

wow, longtubes!...way too loud for my taste....how do you enjoy driving your car haha?

love your car tho, sweet stance and wheels!!!

 

yea ill make a vid today hopefully
thanks bro, i actually hate driving it now with this noise. I already hated driving it before with how low it is lol.

 

I had the same kind of issues with my tips so my muffler shop corrected it as best as they could, added the magnaflow x pipe muffler, and welded on my stock 4.5 inch nismo tips in place of the XO2's.

 

those nismo tips look great on the system lol!

 

If you don't need the extension pipes, you can use the flanges on those instead of using extra gaskets.

I've installed different versions of this and yours seems like a very bad replica.

The one thing about most exhaust is that you have to leave everything loose before you tighten everything down to prevent alignment issues.

 

I know that this exhaust can be found on ebay, but ive been searching around, and i havent been able to find it. Anyone know where i could get it? Thanks in advance.

 

Go to Ebay Motors and do a search for "350z Exhausts" and you'll get a ton of vendors selling them for various prices.

Here's one.

^^^ Thank you

 

Vids?

 

lol i was just about to say something, ill have vids soon dont worry. Ill have a before and after the xpipe muffler. I dont have a vid camera so im just waiting on my friend, should have one sometime this week

 

I have this same exhaust with test pipes and it is louuuuuuuud. The only problem i had with mine was the tips faded and rusted really badly.

 

I've driven and ridden (and installed) Z's with the X02 HKS knock-off and even fairly stock cars with this exhaust it is very loud and the drone is terrible at freeway speeds (to me anyway). I cannot imagine what it would sound like with long tube headers lol. Good god.

BTW OP, did you get an exhaust shop to fix it? If so what did they end up charging you? Just curious

 

they fixed mine for $40...but just a heads up anyone with the uneven tips can fix it themself. They just shove a pipe in my tips and moved it around till its even. My recomendation is to just go with the cheapest knockoff on ebay since most likely all will have fitment issue. I went with the real XO2 thinking ima have no issue...WRONG lol

and yes its loud as hell,...and im not a complainer when it comes to loud exhaust

 

Put an X pipe on the system, it quiets it down dramatically inside. Droning is almost down to stock levels. Outside is still pretty audible but reasonable. And best of all, it sounds like a rev'ving motor again. Before I got the mod done I bounced off the rev limiter left and right because it just got louder and was tough to hear where the revs were.

I mod'ed mine in an odd space, right where the G35 extenders go, so I still have the H-pipe too. I also left the basic resonators in place and used an unresonated x-pipe.

I picked up the stainless version of this...

 

^^^ Do you have any vids of it?

 

I got the magnaflow x-pipe muffler on mine. Definitely sounds better. The H-pipe on these exhausts is a joke. The hole is about __ that much in diameter compared to the 2-2.25" piping that makes the H pipe.

Here's my crappy video. I need to go out soon and just do a legit flyby.

This may seem dumb, but do you by chance have pictures of what was fixed? as far as the rattle goes. I have the same exhaust but with an x-pipe and got a rattle too.

 

it was just the tips, ill take a picture/vid of everything before monday. I just moved out so everything is going slower than expected but im having my xpipe installed this monday. Before and after vids/pics coming before that. Thanks for your patience.

 

can i ask where you found the x02? i cant seem to find one under that name anymore.. any help would be much appreciated!
