Just wanted to make a new thread for new pics. If anyone has questions about Piping sizing, etc, check out https://my350z.com/forum/showthread....threadid=64599 .

 

 

Damn the shop really did a great job man, Congrats

 

BTW, anyone in the sacramento area who is interested in any exhaust type work i HIGHLY recommend the shop i got it done at. Muffler Tech in Sacramento, it's on the corner of Madison and Auburn.

 

Too bad its not mandrel bent... The shop that did my exhaust does mandrel bent, believe it or not but mandrel bent helps the exhaust flow a lot smoother without disrupting the flow.

 

...isn't this mandrel bent...i could swear when i went to this place they said they mandrel bend everything. But i ended up going to like 5 different places so maybe i got mixed up.

 

That is awesome!What does something like that cost? How long did it take the shop to do?

 

Looks good AParshall04. How about a pic from the rear.

 

naw, you can tell it's not mandrel bent at the points where they made angles on the piping. when piping has mandrel bends, they have very smooth curvature without any folds. performance wise, mandrel bends make a very minimal difference. i do like your exhaust set up, though. nice job, very clean.

 

No resonators huh? Must be loud!

 

Ok well i see what you mean by how it's not mandrel bent, i just assumed it would be.

350ztn- it ended up $901.xx total. $300 per muffler shipped, $301.xx for the install/weld/piping etc. Took them about 3 hours i believe.

Illestjrz- Look at the second pic down, its from the rear. If you want another rear shot that shows more of the car than that ill post another.

joust75- at first it seemed really loud, but after it broke in over the last week its really mellowed out a lot. however, when i get on it, around 4k RPMs+, it will really scream up a storm. I dont think i will have any cop problems, its mild enough at low rpms that my mom and dad even think it sounds nice.

 

look close enough to be mandrel bent to me

very nice custom job... now you have one of a kind exhaust...

well done!!

 

I dont know what it sounds like but it sure is a sick looking setup!!
congrats! I am just another sheep who went with Borla. Although I did get mine in 2002

 

aparshall-
where did you get the mufflers from?

You're exhaust setup is my favorite looking exhaust setup i've seen so far.
I was thinking of going with nismo when i eventually get an exhaust...but for around the same price i love the more aggressive look of the HKS mufflers.

also,
do you think you could make some sound clips? i'd like to get a better idea of how loud and what this set up sounds like. If you can't do the clips, is there any exhaut for sale that you would compare the sound to?

thanks,
Rajiv

 

nice exhauists, quality looks real good... just curious... everyone else i see w/ those mufflers usually has one outlet, what's the difference in piping?

 

hndumafia- thank you for the praise, i havnt gotten a sound clip yet, although i hope to get an actual video clip within the next few weeks, i just need to borrow a camera from a friend. To compare it to anything, i would compare it to the clips released by Ultimateone or wicked4u2c, thats the closest, although i would say mine sounds slightly different with 2 outlets.

durobred-my piping is 2.5" with an x pipe. The guys with the single pipes basically all have 3" piping.

 

Your exhaust setup is absolutley stuning man, congrats on that, i am also thinkin of doing a custom setup, i reall like tose canisters, very nice touch, and the pricing isnt to bad at all either. Congrats on your one of a kind.

 

I really would love to see more guys do this set up, it doesnt have to be one of a kind

 

AParshall-
One question i think you missed was where did you get the mufflers?
I'm really liking the idea of *borrowing* your idea for the exhaust.

(edit) - also, do you think the mufflers would fit facing straight back instead of at an angle?


thanks!
Rajiv
