Default Custom Single Side: Complete!

Over the Mardi Gras holiday I finally got around to fab'in up my custom single side exhaust. Thanks to my buddy Kris and Stells370 for helping!

What I used:

Buddy Club Pro Spec 3" universal muffler in brushed stainless
Vibrant 3" stainless quiet high flow resonator
Surewin stainless Y pipe (with ported and smoothed merge)
(3) Vibrant Stainless 2 bolt flanges w/ 2 gaskets

I bought 5ft of 3 inch stainless tubing, 1 90*, 1 45* and 1 *180. I used maybe 1 ft of the straight, the 45* and part of the 90*.

First I started by removing my Stillen CBE and putting it on the scale.

75lbs for this monster! It weighs a ton!



I don't have many pictures of the progress but my buddy took a few pics of us working.



The hardest part was making the bend around the sway bar and under brace... because of the 3 inch pipe, it does hang a little low.



My buddy and I TIG welding up the resonator...


Everything pretty much done, except for the hangers and final welding.


All finished!








It sounds amazing. It is loud... compared to the quiet Stillen. But, it weighs in at 35lbs said and done. Which saves about 40lbs from the Stillen... or even stock setups. I love the way it looks and couldn't be happier with how it turned out!

I'll have a sound clip coming soon.. I have to charge up the Go Pro!

Thanks for looking!



Sounds clip. Sorry for the shaky video.

I did this a while back when I first bought my 370z. I liked the way it sounded. It was really aggressive. The only downside was the extra whole in the bumper. I tried to find ways to fill it, but was unsuccessful. There is NO way to bumper tuck on the 370z like the 350z.

Honestly, I don't mind the hole... it doesn't bother me as much as other people. Some of my buddies have serious issues with the empty spot. lol

I don't know how the 370z bumper works is that a piece of it or part of the whole bumper?

Should be able to be filled quickly

Not really... I love the look of the single side, and I have always wanted to have one. I looked into buying some one, but the Amuse was really the only option, and I spent a fraction of the price making it myself.

What about picking up a rear diffuser like from Evo-R & then glassing over the hole in it? That way you're not messing with the factory part anyway.

Looks pretty nice. I'm not a big fan of the empty muffler spot on the other side, but it's not a total buzzkill for me.

looks good! but probably more so because the empty slot is in the shadow in all the pics. i'm with the majority. if you could find a way to fill that slot, i think the z would look pretty dang good with a single exhaust.
