I'm just giving you hell over the "see the washers?" I thought that was pretty funny.

Honestly...I say give credit where credit is due. He most likely knew he was going to get flamed for posting this, but he did it anyway. And quite frankly, I think we can all agree that his car sounds terrific. The fact that he was able to achieve a $1500 sound for $20 means he deserves some kudos, in my opinion.

Hell...I'll even confess that I'm seriously considering trying this "mod" out myself! Is it a ghetto mod? Sure...I guess you could say so. But no one needs to know except me!

Thanks craniac24! I actually got this idea from "ddharon" here in the forums. All credit goes to him!
Oh and btw craniac24, don't try it unless your system is stock. Phimosis tried it... and this is what it sounds like with a Stillen exhaust.


Oh hahaha! Well, as a fellow noob helping another noob out. These bold letterings and arrow marks really help us a lot!

well the $1500 CBE is not just for sound, the main thing was performance and looks and sound. But if sound is all he wanted then it was a good way to do it. Now when he has money he can do that flap mod thingy where he can flip a switch and open a flap at the beginning of the exhaust and get preformance and sound.

Has anyone done that mod yet of the 370Z?

The shop undid 4 bolts, pulled the joint apart inserted 4 washers onto each of the screws, then bolted the exhaust back together.

Thanks OP for taking your time and took those pictures !! Is it gonna do any damage in the long run having a gap there??

I would love to make my exhaust sound a bit louder too and don't really need power gain since 332hp is enough for me.

BTW - where do I get those spacers ? sorry I just wanna make sure I buy the right parts !!

Gunzero

Hey no problem! I'm in the exact same page as you. The Z from the factory is pretty nice ! This mod really does make it sound great! It's deep, it burbles when you shift, and it dribbles once you pass 3k rpm. For my taste, it can be louder!
Ahh just go to NAPA auto parts tell them to check out the bolt @ the muffler and ask them what size washer would fit there. Get the best quaity if you can

As of the risk of running this in the long run.. I am not sure. So do this at your own risk. However, I can tell you I am 0% worried about it. Fumes are not a big deal. (some of the exhaust still goes through the muffler. The higher your RPM the more the exhaust flows through the muffler.)
