cygnusx1 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 This is my L28ET with 2.5" all the way back from the turbo and a straight-through Magnaflow at the rear. Inside, it sounds exactly like 510six's car.

ZDreamin72 Posted January 29, 2007 Share Posted January 29, 2007 id say the turbo mufflers have too much of a ricey sound to it, sounds liek a rattle can is hooked up to the exhaust...i wouldnt mind a quieter version of 280ZForce's exhaust...probably the same setup jsut smaller piping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted February 1, 2007 Share Posted February 1, 2007 Flowmaster really hurt my turbo engine. Took it off and replaced it with a dynomax and it helped ALOT This is my car with 3" DP and exhaust magnaflow muffler and open DP http://videos.streetfire.net/search/turbo+240z/0/e9ad3b25-2275-4a2a-a794-48eac74bf25f.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jernut Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 - mild cam - MSA 6-1 Ceramic Coated exhaust header - Turbo Muffler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Long story short, I bought the wrong muffler when I did the turbo swap. I got a dynomax super turbo when I was suppose to get an ultra flo.. anywho, I've finally got around to getting a better muffler, but I got a round borla xr-1 and I think it sounds awesome. I haven't had a chance to drive it, so I can't tell ya if it drones or anything, but at idle and revving = money. To me it sounds exactly like an L28et with an open exhaust, except a little quieter plus a nice snarl when decelerating. If anyone is interested in a video of a super turbo on a L28et, I have a video of that too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datman Posted March 30, 2007 Share Posted March 30, 2007 Here is a clip of mine, nismo header 6 -2-1...2.5" all the way back to a single silencer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daeron Posted April 11, 2007 Share Posted April 11, 2007 I love the glasspack sound, I am SO shocked to find that so few of my fellow Z-ers opt for it.. I got one for my 75 but havent gotten it put on yet. The primary drawback (no pun intended, ar ar ar) to the idea of a "twice pipes" system is the poor scavenging caused by isolating two sets of three cylinders... but the MSA twice pipes setup has a collector pipe that attaches to the header collector, so I can't see why it would be at all disadvantageous... Mario, your videos say "full twice pipes" or something to that effect.. does this mean that you have deleted the collector and have a TRUE full twice pipe setup? I am imagining not, I think I have read the answer somewhere already, but I had to ask again. I've never much cared for the turbo muffler sound... it flattens out the highs too much for my taste. Give me some of that old fashioned BRAAAAP noise accompanied by a growl over the throaty, flat sounding turbo muffler any day. Of course, that goes out the window with an actual turbocharged engine, but for an NA car I am all for glasspacks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivan280zt Posted April 13, 2007 Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well I finally get to join in this thread. This is small clip but car really sounds twice as good in person! Its 3inch turbo back, ultraflow muffler, and large Isky cam idling at 1200rpm. http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...66675493937965 Ivo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't sound like any Z I've ever heard before so I'm not too keen on changing it until I go to full out power (boosted/RB/V8/etc) and by then the current exhaust setup will be too small. It sounds amazing though... Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowboardin58 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 I REALLY would like to hear some RB series clips; I have searched youtube and google video many times, and most sound riced out(aside from a few). If you have any nice RB clips, notable the RB26DETT but any RB will do, please post a link! We are planning a conversion to RB when we get another Z and I would like to see how close the RB can sound to the L-Series motors! Both badass, and certainly both have the nice sound of the I-6 engines, specifically of Nissan origins! Of course its hard to replace the sound of carbeurators..but I guess turbos would turn on the modern crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z_cars_rule Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 ok mate, when i finnally get around to getting a sound clip of my yellow 260Z with its L28, i will also make a clip of my 280ZX with RB20DET, it does not sounds like any other RB20 i have heard, not ricey at all. hopefully wont be long till i do it.

snowboardin58 Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 awesome, thanks! There is a really nice sounding RB20DET with cams on youtube. Wow, theres a ton of nice Z's down under, I'm gonna have to make it a point to see them when I study abroad there in a year or so! Lot of Z gatherings?

bjhines Posted April 17, 2007 Share Posted April 17, 2007 In car L24 with header and 2.5" with a turbo muffler on the rear... I have to admit that a lot of what you hear is the 6 trumpet Weber intakes. This is with an airbox muffling them too. I swear the intake makes a lot more noise than my exhaust with the airbox open.

turboboost Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAgCrNlscpY Heres one of my car. The previous owner just oxy-acetenlined the pipe off right behind the axle. It sound pretty damn awesome, but it's way to loud to be practical. I just picked up a Cherry Bomb Turbo muffler, and it sounds pretty damn good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z_cars_rule Posted April 20, 2007 Share Posted April 20, 2007 well we should be getting a good video camera soon, so i will be posting a video on the next couple weeks. and to snowboardin58: yeah the various Z clubs around have regular meets, depending on where in Oz you will be, and what time of year, you might be able to catch the Dat Nats.
