$800 custom X pipe dual exhaust!

MagmaREDZilla · 11-13-2013, 10:27 PM

Whats up guys! So i've been wanting to do exhaust on my Z since the day i got it but due to low funds, instead of buying a brand name exhaust i went custom and did it all little by little. Honestly im very pleased with the exhaust. it sounds very quiet, almost stock but noticeable growl and slight drone which i dont mind.

I started off with axelbacks only, and really liked the sound it picked up. Then added test pipes which added much much vloume to the exhaust and raspyness. So i decided to run 2.5 straight pipes with an X pipe from testpipes to axleback and oh boy! the Z was obnoxiouly loud, vibration and drone was unbearable from 1800rpm to 2500rpm, to the point it gave me headaches if i drove more than 10-12 minutes! After talking to some friends i decided to put on resonators and flex pipes. And now i think i couldnt have gotten a better exhaust! It has zero rasp and barley noticeable hiss.

Heres my set up:

-TOPSPEED-PRO AXLEBACK EXHAUST
-VIBRANT ULTRA QUIET RESONATORS
-EBAY X PIPE
-EBAY TEST PIPES
-EBAY FLEX PIPES
-CUSTOM 2.5" PIPES

More power to you brother. But I don’t do Ebay.

Videos! Lots of them!

& dyno if you get a chance.

I want to see some people shocked if you put down as much power as a brand name catback!

Definitely custom, but almost as much as a brand name when it cost $800 to make

Yeah im going to RAD for uprev tune as soon as possible, will deff upload some sound clips later on today if not by the weekend! I compared it with my friends g37 with fi exhaust and testpipes. It sounds so similar, just a little quieter on regular drives and barley noticeable hiss! Also it was actually $1075 with topspeed axelback, and pricing of test pipes not included. Here is another look at the full exhaust:

Why not spend a lot less and just get a topspeed CBE?

I wanted a true dual with an X pipe and there werent many exhaust system with that option in my budget! I have had looked into topspeed cat back before i bought the topspeed axelbacks. I believe Topspeed cat back is a single exhaust with dual mufflers! I understand what youre saying though. :thumbup: keep in mind if i got the resonators in first place i would have saved $200 in labor.

They actually have like 4. Mines a true dual for $450 shipped! But I had to bend the X pipe a bit because the manufacturer messed up and welded it to small. No big deal though, only took an hour. But I understand if you had stuff already it'd be a PITA to sell, rebuy, etc.
