My experience straight piping my car.
Continuing the story.
So the pervious owner had upgraded the exhaust system with the "AAM Competition 370Z Resonated Short Tail Exhaust". I thought it was too quiet so I nearly straight piped the car. I say nearly because I still had the cats on. It was a 3 inch catback with a 4 inch tip made by a local muffler shop. BOY THAT **** WAS LOUD. (this was before the memes btw). Honestly, It sounded amazing under 3000 rpm and had crazy back fires that sounded like a gun shot. if I drove it at 40mph at 4000 rpm with the revmatch on, I was able to throw into neutral and wiggle the shift knob to get a crazy backfires that sounded like back to back gun shots. It sounded like a tuned car doing 2 step without it actually being tuned at all. I quickly got rid of it because how ricey it sounded in the higher rpms. Also, I respect my neighbors. I put the car back to the aam axel back and that was that.
(I'm been creating series of threads to document my experiences of the 370z platform. If you're interested, you could follow the threads I posted and/or my instagram "dudeseriousle")
