You don’t need to be drawing attention to yourself… i’m sure the car does that enough in stock form. :lol The point of an exhaust is to get the exhaust gases from the engine bay to the rear of the car (or side if your name is Bobby Laduke) as quickly and efficiently as possible. There are ways of doing this without having the car sound like a John Deere in terms of decibel levels. :lol ---

[http://www.brmusa.com/350Z.htm](http://www.brmusa.com/350Z.htm) Get BRM exhaust, expensive but they use really nice magnaflow mufflers and resonators. That’s what I got and it sounds really good. ---

That’s what I got and it sounds really good. There ya go. Or just get a custom 2.5" or 3" or whatevers most efficient on those motors (look it up on the forums) and have a resonator and muffler welded in. ZZP makes a whisper resonator that quiets down a lot of the rasp and sound yet still flows like an open pipe. Like I said, think of what the purpose of the exhaust is for. On a daily driver there is no reason to have a loud raspy exhaust like that. ---

Even a full header back ebay track pipe would sound better than that. ---

That is LOUD as shit! But does sound decent. I love loud pipes. Did you take it on a highway yet? Does it drone? Some straight pipe cars I did or rode in actually drone less than a muffler setup. SOME. How loud is the idle? Can you pull from a light or stop without blowing out windows next to you? Cops WILL hear you comming, and WILL look at a black Z over 90% of the cars you will be around. And the moment you pull away they will light you up. Do you still have my number? I wana hear it! ---
