Um, yeah, I would think so, because you'd be removing the resonators.

I'm surprised there isn't an economical bolt-on kit that just deletes the muffler and maintains the exhaust tips for curb appeal. I'd buy it.
I don't fully understand the 'it's too loud and cops will ticket you' mentality. I have many ferarris, lambos, even an Audi RS4 in my neighborhood that are all damn loud and they are stock. I can't imagine that they get regularly ticketed for having too loud an exhaust. There are so few 370Zs in Chicago, I'd just tell the cop it's stock...what's the problem? No one would ticket me here is my guess. I'm going to post this as a separate thread as I'm interested in the responses. |

It's not about getting ticketed for noise, it's about the extra-loud exhaust attracting more cop attention to other aspects of your driving. When you can hear the exhaust from 1/2 a mile away, it makes a difference in how much attention you pick up from the fuzz.

im really bored tonight and decided to take the muffler off just to weigh it and see what it sounds like in person. im friends with the local exhaust shop so if i like the south i can have them fab me up a custom exhaust back to the bumper with the stock tips.
thanks Spear for the size. jeeze those bolts are on there tight. im afraid im gonna strip one or break something lol. Last edited by jtown82; 04-14-2010 at 10:38 PM. |

Its the poormans answer to aftermarket exhaust system. It sounds alot better than I thought it would. If I was younger and poor I would be getting ready to unbolt mine for a while then fabricate some pipes back to the stock tips.

Are you guys sure there is no gains at all? I recall people claiming 3-5 whp with an axel back exhaust?! Isn't this basically the same thing? Or am I totally nuts.
