Guest jwcanfield Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Greetings Z gurus, I need some advice. I've got a stock '83 280ZX non-turbo with a really bad muffler (old, noisy and restrictive!) that I need to replace. I'd like to find a muffler that increases performance and has a nice mellow tone. I drive this car every day and I don't want to rattle my neighbors outta bed when I start up in the early am! Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted September 26, 2002 Share Posted September 26, 2002 Dynomax (Walker) Super Turbo. Cheap, not too loud, mellow (deep) tone, flows well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 The Hemi Turbo is great (like Pete said) but it is BIG. I have a pair on my Jimmy, but It won't fit on an early Z without some mods, not sure about your ZX. I ended up with a 2 1/2" Dynomax Super Turbo with a 14" case instead of the 20" case of the Hemi Turbo. Center in offset out. This allows the muffler shop to put the offset oulet at the bottom and rotate the case to ~45 degrees. This means the muffler hangs no lower than a round center in/out muffler. I am quite pleased with the tone and volume. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jwcanfield Posted September 27, 2002 Share Posted September 27, 2002 Thanks for the advice. I can't wait to get this repaired! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zfan Posted September 28, 2002 Share Posted September 28, 2002 I happen to love flowmaster's but I'm sure I'm in a minority group for sure. Try Dynomax as they do sound pretty good. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted September 29, 2002 Share Posted September 29, 2002 Notice, I left the word "Hemi" out of my recommendation - for just that reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
