s1xtyn1n3 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Mine has started blowing so looking to get a replacement for my UK MY05. Nissan want £400 to fit a brand new one , but I'm sure one of you guys has replaced their system with something far fancier and has a perfectly good OEM one in a shed or garage somewhere Being in Norwich (virtually at the edge of the world), I'll probably need to get it shipped here so any estimates for that as well will be greatly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 Bah - man up and get a Scorpion.......lifetime guarantee so you'll never have to bother again. Plus you'll do a sex wee every time you hit the loud pedal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s1xtyn1n3 Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 hmm... I might look into a non oem. Also, why are some exhausts on ebay so goddamn cheap? Is there something wrong with them? Specifically this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NISSAN-350Z-INFINTY-G35-EXHAUST-SYSTEM-/310373384690?_trksid=p5197.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D5%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5822642159281002749#ht_771wt_665 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either copies that fit poorly or Japseye (japspeed) stuff. Weak welds, poor fitment. Scorpion is as cheap as you want to be going however if you don't like the tips then Cobra might be an option (same price). Cobra is apparently a bit droney though.

Good to know! Shall avoid then! Scorpion is as cheap as you want to be going however if you don't like the tips then Cobra might be an option (same price). Cobra is apparently a bit droney though. Hmm... the more I see videos of scorpions, the more I like the sound, but each time I see them, the tips look different, but mostly look a bit lost compared to the OEM tips. They should be something to be proud of and others to fear, not hidden away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glrnet Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Can't you just get the rear box welded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 I agree with the comment about bein lost but its only when your looking at it straight on the side view and up close is beefy....especially cool if you do a bumper tuck. Pipes are 4 inch I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s1xtyn1n3 Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 Can't you just get the rear box welded? Possibly. Nissan said it wasn't possible, but then in the same breath, tried to sell me a £400 back box. The back box has some corrosion on it, but always worth getting a second opinion i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
