I used Rich's Performance Muffler in Wylie. Rich did a hell of a job on my custom duals but with quality materials your gonna pay. My exhaust was $1250 with magnaflow muffler, magnaflow tips and magnaflow stainless steel mandrel bent pipes 2.5". Check out the website. richsperformancemuffler.com

 

Holy expensive exhaust Batman!! For that kind of money why didn't you go with a full aftermarket system from a company that has done it's R&D?

 

Almost sounds like the Magnaflow True Dual.

 

Didn't even know magnaflow made a true dual. I always saw their little fake dual exhaust when I was looking. Mine is true dual and the muffler has a built in x-pipe. I've been very pleased with mine but I never dyno tested before and after to see what kind of gains I got.

 

I'm very picky lol and I knew what I wanted. I researched for a few months and knew I wanted a true dual set up and was originally planning on going FI. I liked a lot of name brand exhausts out there but this seemed like the best way to have my cake and eat it too. Power and ear candy lol and I really like how the tips I got make it look like they should be stock but I think they look better than stock if that makes sense.

 

Be careful out there... there's still ice...

I just wrecked my Z and hit a wall early this morning at 3 AM. Entire passenger size/rims are damaged. Time to let insurance know...

 

damn..thought it was regular NISMO..GL holmes...

 

hope it isnt totalled sir...really sux... +1 on taking it easy. My Z is fixed however Im still driving the SHIET of my rental. fug this mess.. GL verdict - let us know the outcome, really it can only get good if not better (get it fixed and new paint and aftermarket stuff? or totalled and you get another car?)..gotta think positive on situations like these.

 

There are a couple muffler shops in Lewisville that will be able to do that. They are in the old town area of Main & Mills.

Aww bummer Verdict....I hope the damage wasn't too bad.

Dang...Insurance companies & Body shops gonna be busy for a while.

Sorry for the wreck dude !

-------

Oh yeah .... HAPPY SUPERBOWL !

 

That sucks bro!! Keep ur head up, perfect excuse for some aftermarket or a new car

 

They've held up pretty well. The grip is nice and they aren't too loud. Took them out to an autox/drift day in mineral wells and they didn't get squirlly till my last run, and that was after six back to back runs. Even then, it wasn't so much as squirlly as it was they finally started chirping. For daily run around, they haven't given me an issue yet until the past few days. However, any tire like that would with the weather we've been having. I got them ordered and installed for $800 at Sears for 225 front and 245 rear.

 

Thanks, guys.

 

Appreciate the positive words everyone. It was a major bummer...

I don't think there's any frame damage or that it's totaled though. Still, it's going to be a pain getting it fixed. I'll give an update once I figure some stuff out.

 

Snapped a few pics...

 

What I'm worried about is pic #2. There's a little bowing so I hope it's not frame related.

 

Woooo suck it steelers!!!

 

***** gonna get bad again

 

that was actually a really good game. Drive safe down there.

 

Soooo i get home and there is a sticker on my door saying package delivered. I look up the number is and it says 1 of 2. (didnt know they delivered on sunday..) So, perhaps its my midpipe!!! I been trying to get a hold of the seller but he's been out of pocket. gonna have to check the office tomorrow...

 

Damn, that's a lot of pretty pennies. As long as you like it, that's all that matters.
It looks similar to my side swipe damage that I incurred a few months back. Hope you get that fixed ASAP.

So, I went to the ice trials today (140 miles north of Chicago). It was on top of a frozen lake with snow plowed away to make a course. This was just an absolute blast! I used my phone to take these vids but I didn't have a mount so I had it wedged between the windshield and the dash. Fast forward a minute or so, as the beginning was me waiting for the guy to give me the go.

This was kind of like autoX and drift meets ice and snow. There were 2 RWD cars (me and a Miata), lots of FWD and AWD, and quite a few in the studded tires class. If you've never seen gutted cars with studded tires racing on ice, it's a beautiful sight. This one Evo X was just tearing it up, clearing the course in about half my time! I couldn't catch traction and my lack of ice/snow experience definitely showed, but this was probably the most fun I had since moving to Chicago.

BTW, I nearly **** myself when I heard the ice crack under me during the driver's meeting. Apparently, it's normal.
