givememorepower Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 Someone stuck a post on quite recently with this style exhaust and a tuck (american pics I think), have a flick through to help you make your mind up. Personally I'm not too sure on those silencers, and would go for a K2 from CS as I much prefer the standard look (but shiny). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
givememorepower Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 You can get a scorpion off ebay for £214 delivered, or I;ve just spotted this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Nissan-350Z-Nismo ... 3efb8e94ad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found the nismo one you got there a few days ago but i would probably have to ebay some body parts or internal organs to afford it As much as there is no doubt the Nismo is the Ultimate zorst you can have for this car, the price is just WAY WAY outa my league.

TADDY Posted January 3, 2010 Share Posted January 3, 2010 I do have one of these tho not from this seller, ive had mine on for best part of two years and im fairly happy with it. Sounds great but the fitment dose let it down abit, in the end i had to get a mate at powerflow to mess around with it to get it on and even now it still sits a little lower then i would like. I paid £410 for mine so price wise im quite happy with it to say its a full true dual inc y-pipe whereas the k1/k2 are neither. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanS16 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 I'm going for one of these next month. I too have looked at the X02 but it doesn't seem they are available over here without importing from the States. I for one don't really care about running a cheap exhaust, I've had the K1 for ages without any problems and thats about as budget as you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nurrish Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 There is a fair bit on my350z about these and the biggest thing is rusting issues... What if you were to heat wrap the whole thing?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May help but I dont think the heatwrap is water proof so water would get in and be sat there as it would be held in the webbing of the wrap I guess.... Also spoke to someone about wrapping my titanium one (to keep it looking pretty!!) but you will get expansion issues I think if you go anything past the y.. And on a thin wall zorst you would probably crack it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanS16 Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 There is a fair bit on my350z about these and the biggest thing is rusting issues... Fair comment, I can't disagree with that. I'm still going to give it a go though as I love the HKS zorst but there is no chance I'm paying the retail on one of those. Again, I'm not arguing but it states that the exhaust is SUS304 stainless steel - is this not the same material as the 5zigen exhausts ect? What I want to know is why do these rust?

Andy Posted January 4, 2010 Share Posted January 4, 2010 Maybe on the welds? Just a guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seemed to be on the welds as Andy said... also could be the flanges as they wont be made from SS. It could also be to do with the thickness of the walls of the zorst... if they use a much thinner wall then it could go quicker... after all there is moisture both inside and outside the zorst..
