Guest super280z Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 thats actually pretty cool looking do you have any more pics of the car up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Beware, friend of mine saw a Camaro running around with a pair of mufflers in the Apex style. He said it was louder than hell! That was enough for me, I'd like something somewhat quiet and the 200 bones the Apex go for hurts! However MikeSCCA found a company making mufflers that might work - Sebringtuning. They make a stainless muffler with a 3 inch inlet outlet in two sizes, 18inches and 14inches. The 18 doesn't come polished but the 14 does. Mike setup the 18 and from what I heard on the phone it's not too bad but fitting is a little tough. Since I want something already polished and since the 18 was out of stock I'm getting the 14. Apparently the company says it's not much different sound-wise and it ought to fit easier. I hope to find out Friday if all parts are here etc. and my starter woes are figured out. I don't have an easy way to post sound files but if I can figure it out I will... Oh, these suckers are less than $150 unless you push shipping I think Mike's got pics of his installed up already. BIG pipe! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavyZ Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Funny, Owen. Your exhaust tip does not look that big except in the very last two pics. Hope it's a noise level you can live with Davy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Yeah what Davy said... I didn't think it looked like 5" at all! Well I guess I have just been brainwashed by all the 7-10" ones around. Owen I really like those wheels (the 5 spoke ones) what are the specs on those? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pparaska Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 Drax, my wife would just say that all guys over estimate the actual dimensions of things in that 6 inch range Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drax240z Posted August 1, 2001 Share Posted August 1, 2001 What do you mean a CD isn't 10" across? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owen Posted August 2, 2001 Share Posted August 2, 2001 A CD 10 inches across??? Oh, you mean records? Anyway, the noise level I don't know yet, but I'm sure these things aren't called Apex Megaphone mufflers (in Japan) for nothing "thats actually pretty cool looking do you have any more pics of the car up?" Yes, click on my signature picture or go to v8zcar.topcities.com/s30z/quo.htm The wheels, are HRE somethings. They were off an RX7 (FC3S) 16-inch face, -12 offset I believe. Actually want to sell these one day, the chrome is in bad condition but I don't know what kind of wheels to replace them with...maybe Work Equips.

BLKMGK Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 Got my Sebring muffler today. VERY nice but I swear it looks like a stainless glasspack. Will be interesting to see how loud it ends up being Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fast Frog Posted August 3, 2001 Share Posted August 3, 2001 HMMMmmmmm!! My tip is 5". Just the tip mind you!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 That's the one owen. I knew I had seen theat here somewhere! I am psyched to hear it... any Ideas of when it will go vroom? Gotta post a sound file on that! jake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLKMGK Posted August 5, 2001 Share Posted August 5, 2001 Mine supposed to have gone Vroom! already but the shop still has it. Hope to get it Monday. The 3inch outlet on mine just fits on the valence with NO hacking. I've looked for bigger Folger's tips but most of the rice stuff uses a 2.25 inlet (rotfl). If anyone sees a tip with a 3inch inlet lemme' know please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 i just installed a N/A APEX N1 on my inline 280Z...sounds mean. not as loud as i expected it to be. i bought the silencer just in case it was too loud. its super quiet with the silencer. i think it was a good buy.

Owen Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 That's the one that's a straight cylinder shaped muffler right? That was my other choice. How much of a difference with the silencer? Can it be removed and installed easily? I wonder if that fits on the Dunk muffler. Owen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owen i think the silencer is made to fit the dunk and the N1...the silencer is easy to install and remove. Apex sells a removal tool, dont buy it its a rip off. i didnt buy it. the only thing i can see it is good for is taking out the silencer when it muffler is hot...im sure you could rig something up if you wanted to. i'll upload some pics soon...

Guest Anonymous Posted August 18, 2001 Share Posted August 18, 2001 here are some pics of my Z with the apex N1 on it...it is just attached by clamps for now. when i get the mandrel bent piping the muffler will be slightly angeled out to the side, nothing major tho. the 240 bumper goes on tomorrow! yes!
