TimZ Posted May 15, 2001 Share Posted May 15, 2001 I would go with Drax's suggestions, above. It sounds like you're mostly stock, so the 2.25" would probably do just fine, and would be ligher and generally easier to install than the 2.5", too.

Guest Anonymous Posted June 4, 2001 Share Posted June 4, 2001 I called a lot of shops and the range for pipe, bending and install was about 150-200... does that sound reasonable? Fraga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted June 4, 2001 Share Posted June 4, 2001 Sounds decent to me... BTW, I now have a L28 with a resonator and no muffler on my other Z. Its not obnoxiously loud, but its still fairly loud... louder than I care for. Granted right now the exhaust pipe ends just in front of the rear wheels (muffler fell off before I got it) so it does resonate a bit in the cabin. Tomorrow I am going to swap on an el cheapo muffler, maybe a glasspack just to quiet things down a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 I put on a Dynamax super turbo muffler today, along with the old resonator and pipe. The car is way quieter now, seems to still have good power, and is fun to drive! (no drone) Its probably too quiet for most performance guys, but I'd rather listen to the engine than the exhaust. (plus its a daily driver) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evan Purple240zt Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 I guess Ill pipe up here.. no pun intended... I have gotten super lazy about posting lately. Oh well, got alot going on. I started with a 2.5" system with a header and NO muffler. You wanna talk loud? I never revved over 5k because the sound was deafening. Small children would run away crying (seriously!). It pretty much elimnated the possiblity of killing a deer, the damn thing was so loud it makes the hondas sound like mosquitos. Then i put on the glasspack, still mighty loud but very much improved. I liked the sound, and hope my turbo motor sounds half as cool as my N/A motor did! Evan PS... glasspacks are cheap.. try it, if it sucks take it off! You can get them for under 20 from summit racing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 5, 2001 Share Posted June 5, 2001 well, I went to a muffler shop to have them bend a piece of pipe for my k&n intake (which turned out cool btw) and asked about the install for my z and they said about $120, So I'm taking it in tomorrow after school... I'll let you know how it turns out... Gonna be sweet.. 2.25in pipe from the manifold to the super turbo muffler. Much better than my big hole, rusty pos muffler now that sucks air in when i shift. hehe, damn back pressure. Oh, my intake sounds cool too, makes a cool sucking sound. Can't wait.... sorry so long winded. Fraga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 well, it ended up at $190 total... oh well.. sounds sweet... the 2000rpm resonance is loud, i kinda like it, could get annoying... With the intake and exhaust it definately pulls a bit faster now... I like it.. Fraga Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted June 6, 2001 Share Posted June 6, 2001 Nothing like getting an exhaust done and enjoying the benefits of having emissions go out the back instead of in the car! I have two mufflers on my system (it's together but not on the car yet) a straight thru Borla and then a big Dynomax in the rear. There is supposed to be no resonance with this kind of setup. Hopefully, it will be everything it is supposed to be! David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
