My new Franken-xaust (video)
 
Had to make room for the GTM diff cooler, so the invidia gemini muffler section had to go. Replaced it with two glasspacks from summit racing at Z1 today. It might be a little loud for a daily driver, but it sounds sweet. It sounds like it has a rasp in the video a little with the computer speakers but it really doesn't.

Exhaust is comprised of Berk test pipes, Invidia piping to the muffler, including their resonators and the glasspacks.

Nick911sc 05-15-2012 09:13 AM

daisuke149 05-15-2012 09:38 AM

Nice dude. glad its done.

So when Settle drives by on the track, you said there goes thunder. What will you be nicknamed now?

Mike 05-15-2012 10:58 AM

Sounds mean.

UNKNOWN_370 05-25-2012 04:41 PM

A VQ should have a little rasp. The tone on this car almost calls for it. Other cars can't pull it off but the Z's do tremendously... some people don't like it but to me. It just sounds so raw with the rasp.

you may not be trying, but mission accomplished. his car looks and sounds pretty damn wicked.

Vertigo 05-25-2012 05:28 PM

Not a fan of the sound, TBH, but to each his own.
Props for trying something different from the norm.

Mike 05-25-2012 05:31 PM

It may look and sound like crap, but I'll take you on a road course any day mr franco. The car isn't street driven other than Zdayz, so I don't really care how it looks or sounds. My differential stays cool now.

Good point! That's what I love about race cars: Functionality goes before practicality and looks.

To me that's such a beautiful thing, a raw design that doesn't have to be compromised. That's what make racing cars look good, they can even pull off a giant wing as long as it benefits the performance.

Keep it up, I love it!

KaienZ34 05-25-2012 07:08 PM

I've seen and heard this beast in person and it is fucking bad. I would love to drive/our this track monster. :driving:

Wrong. That thing looks nothing like a gt3 in any way shape or form. Or color for that matter.
It's just a shame how ugly and nasty it sounds

That's cool that you can take me on a road course in my stock nismo ....your car is still ugly as sin . And for the record new Yorkers are dbags, who r u kidding?

again its not ugly... but then again its just opinion.. everyone has one.
yours just happens to be wrong.

Would love to know if you act like a dbag in person too or just hide behind the keyboard like most people.

KaienZ34 05-25-2012 08:19 PM

Franco, I don't like the sound either - just not my preference, but no need to bash the OP for it. Just state your opinion respectfully.
