78280zlegend Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Hey Z guys and Gals, I'm doing my exhaust on a 1978 Datsun 280z with L28 Fuel injected engine. I've become obsessed with YouTube over this because I can see/hear what it will be. I cannot identify this set up in the video I’m linking. Can someone tell me what it is? Or search "2nd Gen Datsun (Nissan) 280Z @ Cars and Coffee Meet 1/2/2010" I really appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X64v Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 (edited) Sounds just like my car. I'd be willing to bet that's an L28et with either a fully open exhaust, or some sort of small, straight-through muffler. Mine, for comparison: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fUmhNmQuZx4 L28et, stock T3 turbo, 3" mandrel downpipe, 3" mandrel open exhaust.

datsun723 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 Sounds like a l28et to me. So, unless you go turbo you won't get that exhaust note. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He then sold it to Jared, the current owner. I know that the piping is 2 1/2 from the down pipe back, but i dont know what muffler it has on it. Maybe you can try pming Tony and see what it has for a muffler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
