First pic is stock, Second and Third are just some ideas i have floating around. #3 is my poor poor attempt at a lambo style muffler I’ll be getting 2x Magnaflow 14158. I had one of them on my old 280z, here is a video with the L28 inline 6 with 2.5’’ exhaust and MSA thermal headers. camera was pretty bad at sound recording, its much throatier in person [ATTACH=CONFIG]20875[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]20876[/ATTACH] ---

Routing it normally would be #2 with a second pipe however they would hang 3" lower. Dumping them infront of the rear tire sounds fun but not sure if it’s possible… space concerns ---

Here is a picture of how i had the pipe set up on my first Z, same muffler and everything. ![http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/333752_275382139140213_100000052888905_1130795_529109_o.jpg](http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc7/333752_275382139140213_100000052888905_1130795_529109_o.jpg) I will probably do this again except with dual pipes because the gas tank and The spare tire thing has been cut out and welded with a flat piece of steel, ![http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/data/501/PDR_1473.JPG](http://www.classiczcars.com/photopost/data/501/PDR_1473.JPG) As for the single pipe that would require some custom fab’ collectors and probably a 4’’ pipe (i have to look into single pipe V8’s i don’t even know where to start here) Keeping it dual 2.5’’ would work perfect because i only would have to replace the piping from the driveshaft area back… most of john’s stuff is bent / dinged from bottoming out on the road etc… I have been putting some thought into it, i will most likely either get turn downs and put the pipe in the #2 pic area, i will not be cutting into the body OR i will just run it straight to the back of the car with 2 chrome tips sticking out. kinda like this,
