mufflers only???

If your lady wants more exhaust noise and you remove the muffler, be ready for some significant exhaust drone in the cabin. Sounds great but might give you a headache.

Best bet for more sound on a budget is some muffler deletes to the stock tips PLUS some side branch resonators at 28" per side. That way you have the sound and none of the drone, plus a small performance kick. I paid $300 for that setup previously WITH new magnaflows so you can get it done affordably.

To test the sound, try the washer mod.

Muffler delete is going to be pretty loud, though.

You'll need to have something custom-made, then.

I still think the washer mod would be best for your situation because:

1) There are no real axle-back options available for the Z that aren't ridiculously loud or ridiculously expensive.

2) It's cheap!

3) You can control the volume, and if you don't like it it's super easy to reverse.

If you don't want to do that, then look into HFCs.

My exhaust is a full cat back and cheaper than an axle back

Like the muffler delete, would need to be the right price for a couple of pipes and flanges though, any Ti option or black out option?

Anyone attempted to 'make' some mufflers from a G37 fit as yet?

There are plenty of dual can options which look to mate to the stock mid pipe, dont think it would take thet much work for one to fit.

I ran into a guy last night with no mufflers. Don't know if he was waiting for one to put on or just didn't want the mufflers anymore. It was not loud at all. I was surprised at how it sounded. I thought it would be loud and annoying. But it was only slightly louder than stock. Slightly. Weird.
