TheCrazySwede Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Dear Hybrid Z, I have some questions regarding the installation and operation of a side exhaust system. 1. Where would the Cat' be placed? There isn't much room under my '77 280z, so I can't see where it would be seated. I live in Cali, so having one is kind of a must. 2. I've read around that the Patriot side exhaust limit flow by a lot and that the internal muffler only has 1 5/8 in air clearance, which is really choking the flow. What other options are there? 3. This is referring to sound; I love loud cars, but law enforcement doesn't seem to share my taste. Cali law says that modified exhausts should not exceed 95db's. If a Cop suspects that it's too loud, one would have to go to a service station where they check the db's of your exhaust to make sure it passes under 95db's. My question is this: Is it possible to use side exhaust and still pass the "Cali sound test" without restricting the air flow? Thanks everyone. I'm new to Hybrid Z, but after a couple of post, I am glad that I signed up. Such a great community! Cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leon Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'd be more concerned about ground clearance than anything else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
