81280zx Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Hey all i have a 81 280zx non turbo engine and i want to start doing mods to it and I see alot of u guys here have alot of knoladge on this car my first step i was thinking about was exhaust for the car like a header and a custom pipe to a good muffler but i was wounderin what some of u had on your cars as in pipe size muffler and where i can get a header for it. I also saw that some of u have front bumper kits on them and where u get them at cause i hate the stock one. And what parts can interchange on this motor. Any advise would be appreciated thanks alot in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 280ZForce Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 Welcome to Hybrid Z... well you will soon find out w/ browsing this forum, there is a ton of options for Zs. Alot of parts are interchangeable from 1970-1983 w/ motor stuff because it is the same L series motor, just differ displacement and differ internals and heads and etc and so forth. To get you started on some simple mods and bumpers/body kits, etc click the link below: Motorsport Auto www.zcarparts.com and look for a header and cold air intake w/ k&n filter for your car. exhaust is pretty open from there on what you want to do. For your n/a motor, I'd get a high flow cat from Magnaflow and then do 2.5" piping and pick a muffler of your choice pretty much...magnaflow, apex-i, ultraflow, flowmaster, megan racing, spin tech and many more! and then just have a local muffler shop fab 1 up for you.

81280zx Posted August 25, 2006 Author Share Posted August 25, 2006 thanks guys for the info my car is all stock except for the intake on it. I am going to get a new cat for it and a good muffler to.
