noobie Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I have 280z with a stock engine and want to get better sound out of it and was thinking of just putting in a flowtech red hot muffler to the stock exhaust. Any thoughts or suggestions for or against this? I'm a complete newb and would be thankful for any advice, thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoov100 Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 If you like the sound of a honda engine coming from your z, go for it! Seriously though, glass packs are not something that sounds good on any stock motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobie Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Should I just get a full cat back? I don't know much about these cars yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger280zx Posted September 20, 2010 Share Posted September 20, 2010 I don't know much about these cars yet. That is why this site is packed with free information. If you want someone to tell what exhaust to get then go to a muffler shop. If you want to research different exhausts and there benefits search here and in the "engine components; exhaust" forum. If you want to hear results go to youtube. It really is not that hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noobie Posted September 20, 2010 Author Share Posted September 20, 2010 Sorry I'm just now getting acquainted with where stuff is on this forum, I tried to find an exhaust section but I must have missed it. I could listen to youtube videos forever but I was more interested in what kind of results people have had I guess. I'll just go take a look at the exhaust section.

MikeBZ Posted September 21, 2010 Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have an L28 in my 240z with a 6-1 header. At first I had just a 30 inch long cherrybomb glasspack using 2-1/2 pipe diameter routed all way back. The glasspack was mounted in the trans tunnel area with the pipe exiting in the stock location. It sounded great, not really like a ricer honda, but it was way too loud.... I was just asking for a fix it ticket... If you are a noobie go to muffler shop, or MSA sells a kit to bolt to your stock manifold http://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/PEC27/15-6304 A muffler shop might be able to beat that price installed. Here is the exhaust sub forum http://forums.hybridz.org/index.php/forum/21-exhaust/ Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
