Took nismo rear muffler off and i'm putting a single tip on will loss 20+ pounds and free up exhaust back pressure. Only 3 14mm nuts hold's muffler on,slip muffler off from hangers,did it in my drive way with deep socket and flat screw driver.I'm 46 years old so anybody can do it,less than 30 min.Sound good will get muffler shop to weld up tip and post a pic Mon or Tues. Total cost less than $100.

 

Are you going to put a real muffler on? Or just run a strait pipe out and put a chrome tip on?

 

Sounds strange..

 

You're worried about freeing up backpressure? You boosted?

 

I would like to see pics and vids...

 

I think dual tips look better with that rear diffuser...imo

 

Look @ the 1st pic. left side you'll see the exhaust pipe,will get a bracket to bolt to nissan pipe weld 2 ft long pipe with my 4 in.tip in other picture. ? 1 No
? 2 Yes.

 

Sounds good try it on your car.

 

Back pressure frees up hp. & tq. that is there. No it's not boosted.

 

Pics mon or tues, vids don't know how to do.can't multi quote,may be able to email out.

 

sure I'll be more than happy to host it for you...

man old timer...over on the bottom right of a post is what looks like a paper with a green ball on it. Click it highlight mutiple quotes...

 

you're should probably do some research on what backpressure really is, and why you've done little to "change" it

 

Looking at the prices of your exhaust systems, I see why you would say this.

 

The prices of the systems we offer has nothing to do with it...I'm not trying to sell you anything. Making changes to a car is great...understanding what changes do what is part of being an educated owner/enthusiast/consumer. Whether or not you buy something is a separate matter

 

If you do gain power, it will be a marginal 2-3 horsepower at best. And on top of that your rear end will look like garbage. Quit being so ignorant and listen to Adam.

 

I agree with understanding what any given change or combination of changes does to a given set up. Not my first day at the rodeo. AS an educated consumer if I compaired your HKS Kansai exhaust layed it out next to the Nismo system there almost identical. What I'm doing is eliminating the rear muffler also back pressure and weight plus saving 2k+. And as an educated consumer can see nothing but pos. results from this.

 

Do a before/after dyno and post your results...then you'll know how much you really gained or lost, relative to what you spent (or saved). It ain't my first rodeo either, and I've owned and modded my Z to a far greater extent, and for far longer ,than most here I don't know everything, but I do know a fair bit.

Every single pipe exhaust is nearly identical to stock layout, because there is basically 1 place the piping can run. The true duals have significantly different layouts - necessity by design.

If you're happy with it, then that's all well and good...just don't try to convince yourself, let alone anyone else who might just know a bit more than you about the subject, what you've gained as a result of the change you've made. You've changed the sound of your car, and you shed some lbs, that much I will agree with. The muffler on your car is not the most restrictive aspect of the exhaust however.

 

If you want to get rid of all backpressure and lose bottom end, get 4" piping all the way back from the manifolds/headers.

 

What a nut...

 

Is it just me, or doesn't this classify as being rice? It's a NISMO z, not a civic, if your going to change the exhaust atleast get a cat-back.
