Here is an exhaust system combination I bet you haven't seen yet. This system consists of 2 Jones Turbopack mufflers (these are 2-tube mini-turbo mufflers contained in a round case that looks like a glasspack). The largest one is 5" diameter by 24" long case. The inlet size is available in either a 3" blank (which is what I bought, it's also the cheaper of the two) or 3" tube connection. The 5 x 24" turbopacks with 3" blank inlets p/n is JONATT5024B available from Full Line Exhaust: http://www.fle-online.com/InformationPages/infoturbopacks.htm http://www.fle-online.com/OtherProducts/OTHGlasspacks/turbopacks.htm These have two 2.25" dia perforated tubes inside them, and the thickness of the aluminized case is 15 gage and the welds are quite beefy. These mufflers are built! I bought 2 of these to put under the floor of my '75 280z, (did have to beat the right side of the tunnel in a bit for clearance), Forget about using these in a 240, they won't fit, but you could try the smaller 4" dia ones. Now orginally I had a Magnaflow 4x9x14" Dual in/Dual out muffler (p/n CARS11386 http://www.fle-online.com/MAGNAFLOW/MAGUniversalMufflers/alu4x9.htm) in back in the original mounting spot, since the dual 4x30" glasspacks I had under the tunnel were too loud for me by themselves. I decided to keep the Magna in addition to the two new Jones mufflers for maximum quiet. Notice that I used a piece of the old 4" glasspack case on each end to adapt from my 2 1/2" pipes to the 3" case on the Jones mufflers. It now sounds quieter than it did with the old glasspacks, but you can still hear there's a beast under the hood, about 1/2 of the low-frequency rumble is still there, but now it has a cool metallicy pinging sound, like the sound of the individual firings going into the header pipes are being amplified a bit by the Jones mufflers. With the Magna adding a bit of a european sting to the tailpipe, the overall effect is quite cool, fairly quiet, and alot different than some old Mustang with dual turbos. PICS:

Hey All!! Yes, this is my website you have found here about putting Supra Halfshafts on a 280z. This is actually the weblink to the conversion: I havn't been on this site in ages, and they deleted my original post about this, and changed all my other posts to "Anonymous". Guess I should come over here more often. Had to create a new profile. My car that has the Supra shafts on it is a '75 with a Ford 347 and a T5 in it. I am guessing it's about 350hp, and I have not had a problem yet with the shafts after about 20k mi. I run big 275/40/17's on the back, too. I researched Supra shafts on a Supra forum, and I did not find anyone of those guys complaining that they broke a shaft. When I did the conversion, I did it quick and easy in my backyard with a stickwelder. If I had to do it again, I would make the adapter plates with a special hole cut in them to fit over (not on top like you see in the pics) the Z flanges, weld them on, then have the mounting surfaces retrued on a lathe (to correct the warp of welding), and then have the pilot diameters cut as a last step. This would also leave the shafts about 1/2-3/8" longer which is preferable. I am also the guy who originally came up with the idea of putting a Neal pulling slave cylinder to operate the clutch on a Ford-T5 combo. This is my car, but I have taken off the injecton and put a carb back on since I posted this: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/543729 Enigma
