letank87 Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have a DC Sports stainless steel exhaust system for sale, 12 months old, covered less than 6k miles. Great chance to get one of the best exhaust systems available for the zed at half the new price! Just ask anyone who has one, whether they'd have a Nismo instead £425 - collection from Northampton due to size. (will fit in the zed by the way!)

Sarnie Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 which is the best sounding exhaust for the Z? Thats very subjective. The Nismo is very popular. The DC sounds different but no worse. I'd happily have either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 which is the best sounding exhaust for the Z? A bit like saying "who's the world's fittest woman?" - everyone will have their own subjective favourite. The NISMO seems to be universally popular and a quality piece of kit but this DC sounds lovely and I doubt you'd be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beavis Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 It would be clear cut for me, i would take the Nismo everytime, but thats only my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GIXXERUK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 i've heard a few people have had the welds breaking on the nismo but most of these have had lowered cars which gives extra stress Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shire350Z Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 trying to make my mind up wether to go for it or not probally gone when i make my mind up dont want to go making it to 'noisy' for them long journeys and at higher speeds on the motorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 yeah maybe - it is for sale on the oc aswell did letank ever fit this ? he only had it 2 months the nismo is the most popular but you would need to double the price of this to get one of those Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Dont worry about motorways, unless you are behind one. They (IMO) dont sound too loud to be a problem on long drives. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letank87 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Word from the NVH guys at work is that the Nismo is very boomy on motorways and for that reason, they weren't too keen on it. Aparantly the DC is much less boomy and more raspy??? No doubt in my mind that the Nismo is a nicer looking system and because it's Nismo (ie Nissan) it will be the choice of many people. However, the DC is a true dual system whereas the Nismo is very similar in design to the standard system. Therfore, you get a lot more for your money with the DC!

GIXXERUK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 did you ever fit it mate ? do all the gaskets come with it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letank87 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 To answer some of the PM's I have recieved, can I just clarify that yes I did buy this exhaust a few months ago on eBay for £350 + £85 P&P (£435). I am not trying to rip anybody off with this sale, all I want is my money back! Besides, you will also notice that before I bought the exhaust, I let everybody else on here know about the eBay listing, so everybody had the same chance to buy it as I did! Since I have had the exhaust, I have also spent a good few hours polishing it to it's current condition!!! £425 is still a great buy for someone, it does annoy me when I get offered less money purely because of what I have paid. When I bought the exhaust at that price my intention was to fit to my car and sell for a little less than when I sold my car. As I have had to sell my car sooner than expected, is it unreasonable to ask for my money back, especially when it was a bargain to begin with??? I don't think so! I do apologise if I've come across a little strong, I just want to stress my point. The exhaust is for sale at a very reasonable £425. If anybody want's it, that is the price. I'm not a Sengalese watch seller operating in Tenerife, if I was I would have advertised it for £800 to begin with Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIXXERUK Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 do all the gaskets come with it ? does it route differently to an oem exhaust ? does it need extra brackets ? or is it a straight swop ? oh yeah... as stated in your original ebay thread by everyone - it was bargain when you bought it, so it obviously a bargain now your selling it, people will obviously make offers regardless unless you stated "no offers" i dont think anyone could suggest you are trying to rip anyone off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
letank87 Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 did you ever fit it mate ? do all the gaskets come with it ? No never fitted it, and I'm gutted (rusty bloody bolts)! I could have fitted it but I decided not to risk it in the end incase the bolts did break on the old system and then I'd have a lot of messing around to get the old system back on the car when it was time to sell. As that time came around much quick than planned, the decision was made kind of easy. Only reason I didn't sell sooner was that I hoped having it might appeal to someone wanting to buy my zed, but no one has really paid any interest in it! Yep, comes with gaskets and bolts!

Sarnie Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 What you paid for it is irrelevant. If others didn't have your acumen to purchase a bargain then more fool them. £425 is an absolute steal for this zorst. For the record I paid £500 for a second hand Nismo off a member on here. I wouldn't let it go for a penny less than £425 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
martinmac Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Because its worth £425 all day Get it bought Shire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Agreed. Somebody buy it. It is pretty raspy but in a good way... I like it anyway, it's not bad on motorways and sounds good with my V+ plenum and JWT. Here is the vid I was on about earlier. It was taken inbetween playing poker, drinking beer and setting up my home cinema (hence the dB meter) http://s137.photobucket.com/albums/q228/stewart-83/?action=view¤t=CIMG1108.flv By the way it isn't black smoke - just a poor transfer and yes, that is snow on the ground!
