" Nissan 370Z NISMO 09-12 Stock Upgrade Axleback Exhaust With Bevel Edge Tips"

I want to replace the stock muffler on my wife's new 370, oem set up is a little weak and quiet for such a nice sports car,,,,
Would like to get an Nismo oem exhaust system or a different muffler to give it a lilttle more sound,but i dont want to go crazy on the budget....which is around $400-500, Im in New Mexico if someone is selling one that might work for the Z Let me know...
Dont want to pull trigger on Ebay muffler if its quality sucks...Thanks in advance for any input or help regarding this post....have a great day...

I would stay away from eBay junk!
And now that that's out of the way, I would save up a little more and get an actual exhaust I have the Fast Intentions CBE and I love it

Or if you are wanting to go really cheap... Just do the washer mod. That's what I did until I had the cash for the exhaust.

AAM short tails? Sound amazing and only cost $300-400.

Actually I think Randy "370ZRR" (370Z designer) got that axel-back exhaust on his car. He did it cuz it is a corporate Nissan car and he didn't want the hassle of switching a CBE back to stock. I've heard and seen it and it's not bad. The tips do stick out a bit tho.

how loud is it with this pipes, annoying? cool rumble? is it better than washer mod?

Quality is meh. Sometimes you get lucky. others don't. Fitment is decent and sound is good. Metal seems a little thin so a couples years down the road could be having issues with it. Plenty of guys runnj g the Top Speed exhaust though. Many are happy with it but build quality just needs to take a couple steps up.

I can actually say that I have heard the top speed axleback on a g37.

It sounds alright...Much better then stock exhaust with nice looking cans. However quality I cannot attest for.

The better option is aam short tails. Quality muffler deletes, with beautiful tips. Great sound.

AAM short tails are overpriced IMO, a muffler shop would make the same for $100

Washer mod is 90% as effective, OP, do that until you can afford a quality CBE

It'd be $100 in materials alone+ gas for the welder+ an hourly rate for the fabricator making it+ some markup to make it worth it to the shop. I have to disagree sorry.

Only know because I made my own.

You got ripped off, lol, sorry

It's $5-10 pipe, $20 flanges (or just cut them off the muffler), time to weld/bend $70~.

I only know because I did this for a different car. Full straight pipes for my car was quoted at $200-300 for the 370

Lol I guess I ripped myself off then. And im defending vendor prices not talking about what I paid.lol You forgot to add tips which if I recall AAM use's TI which is a little pricey. Some shops just know what their time and effort is worth, some don't. Simple as that.

304SS=$30
Tips=$100-$150
Time=$40/hr x 2 hours
Gas=$20?hard to price but a tank here is about $100 but youre only using a small portion of that.
Total:$240

That's before profit margins so really $3-400 isn't that bad.
