I hate the stock exhaust. So made myself something that weighs like 40 pounds less, sounds better, and its less restrictive than stock. I know it doesn't look pretty under the car, but you don't see that. I think it sounds better.

Looks like its time to create some new rear tires while you're at it.

DIY is always cool, but one of the things I love about the z is the dual exhaust. Looks different like that

Yours exhaust canister/tip looks puny compare to the the single tip exhaust offered on our car. Edit: looks weird on a fat a$$ of the Z.
A for effort.

I bet if I didn't post a picof what it looks like under the car where NOBODY see's anyways, then all you people who say its so damn ugly would have a different opinion. It sounds way better than stock and its not a POS eBay exhaust. It was free for me to make and I enjoy it. I'd love to see half you people fabricate stuff. Most of you don't even change your own oil so hop off my sack.

welds look bad. go buy some cheap steel piping and make it a dual at least. would look a lot better. and maybe some a coat of high temp paint.

bumper tuck with a bigger tip, should look a whole lot better then. sounds pretty decent though.
