S1 HNK Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 Hi all, Now the car has gone, my final mod is now up for sale. I've saved the best till last Full cat back Nismo stainless steel exhaust system. As most of you know, these are an expensive item but for me are very much worth it due to the sound it gives. It how the 350z should have sounded out of the factory, a wonderful almost warble like sound throughout the rev range. Its not "too loud" at all and for me was the perfect balance. I genuinely couldn't believe when the stock exhaust went back on Friday, the car felt totally silent. I cannot stress just how good this system sounds versus standard. Condition - I am being totally honest and have highlighted all the bad bits and done my best to take photos of all the points mentioned below. It is very hard to photograph due to the polished nature of it so some of the photos make the dents look worse than they as they reflect the light. The rear silencer is in excellent condition as a whole. However both tailpipes have very slight dents on the underside but these are not visible at all when fitted and are quite far along the tailpipes so the actual tips are perfectly shaped. There is one small dent on the underside of the rear box (hardly noticeable) and again you can't see when fitted as its the side that faces the front of the car. So to sum up all the bits that are on show when fitted are perfect (could just do with a really good polish and I dont have the correct equipment to really clean it up - mainly inside the tips). The Mid section is all good, a few scrapes on the centre box but again, no cracks in any of the welds. Y-Pipe is good. The flexi joints (known to be the weak part of the exhaust) are ok, you can see they have had a few scrapes but no big problems and again no cracks to the welds. The system is 100% complete and does not blow at all so its a straight fit from the OEM system. I really dont want to post this item. I appreciate Paisley freight ship it for not a lot of money but unless I read it wrong its not insured so really dont want to take the risk of an item of this value. If you want to come and view the system then no problem at all. I'm based in Cheshire. Just off junction 10, M56. These retail for around the £1400 mark so its not cheap and they don't come for sale that often. £800.00 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dayy Posted July 7, 2013 Share Posted July 7, 2013 (edited) In the unlikely event you still have this in a few weeks/months, I would be interested. Can't afford it at the moment though; shame really because I live around the corner (I would get on the M56 at Junction 9). EDIT: You got a video of this in action btw?

Dayy Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I saw this in the flesh (metal?) yesterday and can confirm that the small dents are barely noticeable when you are looking for them, so will be impossible to see when it's actually fitted to the car.

Phlukey Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Dammit! I'd have had this in an instant if you weren't so far North! Hell of a journey from Kent for an exhaust, but it is a hell of an exhaust I s'pose :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marzman Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 What's happened to this place - people would of scratched each others eyes out for bit like this a year back. The prices of cars has fallen, but the prices of aftermarket parts has not. I can appreciate how some people might not want to spend 20% of their cars' value on just an exhaust, as opposed to maybe 5% just a few years ago. Not saying that this exhaust is priced incorrectly - it's just that the demand has fallen now due to the bracket of people choosing to buy a Zed.

I was thinking the same, if I hadn't just sold my Zed and been perfectly happy with the exhaust that it had and not been saving for a new car I would have had this off the op in a heartbeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
