I did the spacer mod to the exhaust....

No offense to anyone but this seems like something a ricer would do to a civic. Not something someone does to a 370z .Especially if it isn't confirmed if you actually lose power. My .02

I like to be blunt in life, but i think some members are just

hurt bc they spent over 1000 for their setup (for hp and sound...blah blah blah) and we spent $14.04 for sound

Don't forget looks! It has to be aesthetically pleasing too!

that's why I went FI's carbon fiber canisters!

I cant help but feel the same way, you spent 30K+ on this car, its by no means really a cheap car. Test pipes can be had for $150-$200. Is that really a far reach? I mean, to each his own but it just seems.... half assed? I can understand the need/want to save money but things can be bought used for cheap too. I also feel like this would have been done in the 60's and 70's to make the V8's (and todays hondas too but sound like crap) sounds bad *** as hell and it probably cost them $.23 back then hah but the cars weren't as smart and sophisticated as ours are today.

Anyone that has done this mod put their car on a dyno? Curious to know how much power and/or torque is gained or lost with this.

ssmoked · 05-16-2013, 06:47 AM

Yes I can afford and dump over 1000 dollars on some pipes to make noise and hopefully gain or most likely lose torque without any other mods such as an intake. But why would I do that when I can care less about the minimal loss or gain on my DD? It's not like im racing against other cars to work and store everyday day. Last time I checked the speed limit is 45.

For my needs from the Z is more sound so the car sounds alive. And the washer is more than enough to fulfill it. I'm pretty sure others that did the same mod feels the same way. Maybe they are just too scared to stand up for getting bashed and flamed. It not like I went in and drilled holes or put Walmart fart cans on the car like civics, and made you all "rich enthusiast" that mod cars properly look bad. Hell, bet most of you that actually bought pipes can't even tell the difference between my spacers and your 1000 dollars pipes on the street!

And I noticed everyone that talks down about this actually spent money on pipes. That just further confirms some of you are

hurt that this simple cheap mod can achieve what your over prices pipes did in the sound department.

I prefer "ghettoish" or "Rednecky" over "ricer."

I did mine because the exhaust is way too quiet in the cabin since I put some GTMat in the hatch area. I lost a lot of feedback. I have my muffler guy looking for a more permanent solution but I'm not guaranteeing you'll like it any better than the washers. Oh, wait! I don't care if you like it or not. And I take no offense for exactly the same reason.
