Sounds just like the first post. I think it's fine almost no drone, it's only crazy loud when i start the car in the morning.

I'm worried about damaging the parts under the car cause of the hot gases leaking out though. So it's def a temp thing.

Ah yea, That's why I want some custom tips.. :/ sadly my resources are limited since I live nowhere close to anybody that would do it. It would be nice to have someone fabricate it for me and ship it.. but whatever.

But that's no surprise, because posers don't care about real gains, right? So why would a poser go through the trouble of doing dyno testing? Anyway, like I said, I'm just expressing my personal opinion. We can agree to disagree. If this "mod" floats your boat, more power to you. Maybe for your next mod, you can fake having a six-pack like this guy:

Not to get into an argument on the internet, but it really didn't make sense to get a full exhaust system on a car that already has 400hp and weighs 6000lbs, where a 20 HP gain means almost nothing. It sounded really good how it was, and I just wanted it louder...so that's what I did. I didn't even know you could rice out a $90k car. On the Z, however, if I mod it it's because I want it to be faster...so I will spring for a real exhaust mod. Money is obviously not an issue for me, but value is. $100 to get the sound I want, versus $2000 for the same sound and maybe 10whp?

Maybe one day you will learn a little bit about the value of the dollar, but until then the only real poser is you buddy....

Wow, you could not be more wrong on everything.
The point of modding is to show respect for your car (a), and to do what you like (b). Now it is your car and I have no matter in telling you what to do, but I would hope buying a 90,000USD car and just doing a muffler delete you would understand how stupid that is.

Also, where are you getting your numbers from? 2,000USD for an exhaust system that gains 10whp? I dropped under 1,000USD and the exhaust has proven gains of 15-20, many are dropping at most 1,500USD and getting equal or slightly better gains. For less money and far more gains than what you seem to claim to. The value of money seems to be wasted on you, why did you spend 90,000USD just to devalue it with a cheap modification? Come back when you have a valid counter point and not just grasping at straws.

And all this time I thought the entire purpose of modding was to make a car better for the person behind the wheel.

Why is this even being argued about? Whatever floats your boat, just stay the **** away from mine.

on a side note. the washer method works well. tried it. and its a very good blend of sound. It sounds almost stock under normal driving and only around 60+ can you really hear the exhaust over the wind/road noise. but under heavy acceleration it sounds really nice and very clean.

Your parents bought you a $30k+ car? Tell the cheap bashtards to cough up for a catback, Bubba.

Gunzero · 04-21-2010, 03:30 PM

Decided to just wait till I graduate before I spend money on car. Got more important things in life

The ONLY point of modding is to:
a) Make something more desirable than the stock form. That may be sound, power, gas mileage, whatever.

Some people do it for themselves (like me), others do it to impress others. I don't really care where you fall. I'm with you little buddy, if I mod the Z it's because I want more power, so I will spring for the real exhaust. The $2k exhaust for 10whp I was talking about was (obviously) for the Range. On the Range Rover I just wanted it a little bit louder, not more power because I don't intend on racing it...because it's an SUV...that I drive in the Winter...when there's snow...where hp gains don't really matter. So I could either:

a) Spend 2 grand on an exhaust with minimal if any gains.
b) Spend $100 to have the muffler deleted and get the sound I want.

What to do.

Haha...I remember years ago my friends doing that to their gopeds. All it did was help the cops more easily figure out where they were

How did you guys manage to get those 4 nuts loose? Ive been tryin all afternoon on and off to get them off and I can't. I used wrenches and a socket wrench 14mm. Im starting to strip the nuts so I stopped. Can you guys shed some light on how you removed these ? thanks.

Hit them with some PB Blaster if you have any and let it sit for a few minutes. If you don't have PB Blaster, use WD40. A breaker bar will be very helpful. Those things are torqued on super tight.
