It really depends on what your doing with the car to be honest, the reason I hang around the forums is I am considering buying another Z, while boost was a blast, there is more up keep, and actually overall lost some joy with the car when doing tight twisty driving, which where I live now has a ton of great driving roads and a 500+ whp Z would not be the best car for enjoying them. I think if I bought another Z I would take all the money I spent on boost and put all the money into suspension, diff etc, and make one mean NA handling Z, then when the new hopefully factory turbo Z comes out, have my boost fun with that car.

Honestly at this price point for a single exhaust system why not look at getting one custom built? I got a full 3" mandrel bent turboback system on a past car for like $600.

Could I just get any muffler I want? Or how would I go about that?

As long as it's a 3" inlet I don't see why not. All they'd have to do is weld a hangar on it, super easy. When I got mine built I bought two Magnaflow 'straight through' mufflers on eBay which looked just like the mufflers other pre-made systems used. Of course, you could buy resonators instead unless you want straight pipes

Sorry. That was my mistake. I was thinking crush bend. And 2 bends? Don't forget you have to make the y-pipe there buddy. And it is complicated. Have you tried building one? Have you tried to clear the drive shaft, rear diff and sway, and rear chasis brace without having clearance issues with a three inch pipe? It's much more complicated than you're thinking. 2 bends my ***. I thought the same thing before though so I can't blame you lol. Going custom will usually cost the same if not more anyways. I was referring to crush bending when I said Cheaping out. Last edited by Gregor12; 02-22-2015 at 05:38 PM. |

Ohh also, don't forget the center brace which has about a 4 inch hole after it bolts to the y pipe. Gotta clear that and make sure you're not hitting the brace without going to high and causing it to hit in the rear.

Yep, definitely not something I could build; however, in comparison to some other cars it's a fairly easy system. Of course every shop is different and it may cost more getting something built, I always think it's an option people overlook though.
