Ian Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Got my exhaust fitted today, No pictures or videos yet because its raining Sound: Bigger roar on start up, just as quiet when idleing or cruising, Very loud when under load I'm not sure if its in my head but the car feels a fair bit quicker, I have never seen the rev counter needle move so fast Ill try and get some pictures & videos done tomorrow. Overall very happy with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev-the-Rev Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 Good one mate. Where did you go to have it fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I would think the performance gains are in your head! Glad you are pleased though. I'll look forward to seeing the pics and vids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 I would think the performance gains are in your head! Quite possible. When I've had exhausts done on old cars I've never felt much difference but when I drove home today it felt a lot different - could be something to do with the deafining noise ate 3.5k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I most definitely felt my car was quicker on the day I had the nismo fitted. I don't think the ECU compensates for the differnces staight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the ECU compensates for the differnces staight away +1 i always said my kakimoto made some performance difference. Like you, ive had exhaust's added to some of my previous cars and they never made a difference, yet i felt on the 350z it did. My other cars were probably louder than the Zed too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Pictures The right hand side exit sits a little lower than the left hand side but this seems normal with the blitz exhausts that I've seen on my350z.com. The sound is getting louder as it beds in, It drones a lot on the motorway at 70ish. My new CF overlays for the side badges Video Crap video, I only had my camera with me and just did a quick vid Overall Im very happy with it. It sounds superb & thanks to Adam once more for great service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trev-the-Rev Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Looks and sounds great, Ian Is it the exhaust, decat pipes or a bit of both that's causing it to drone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Bit of both I think. I'm not fussed about the drone though, does'nt bother me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M13KYF Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 the exhaust sounds like a railway train horn as it comes of the revs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam@Z1auto.com Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 love it! an easy way to sort the "uneveness" of the aftermarket exhausts is literally step inside the tip and press down a bit..you'll stretch the hanger just enough to have it sit even (had to do it on the right side of my Fujitsubo which sit a tad higher than the left) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 That sounds magic Ian. It looks very like the DC system I think, that's what I have so it's a good thing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian Posted July 15, 2007 Author Share Posted July 15, 2007 I'll try and even the pipes a bit if it ever stops raining today. I visited my favorite tunnel yesterday, It is impossible to have a conversation when going through it I'll get some better pictures & videos once I get it back from having the bumper repaired Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not gonna be using Rob. Was not that impressed with the way he went about it really. Just looked at the car and gave a figure of the top of his head. He did'nt really seem that interested. Ill be using Auto Image at Cardiff Docks, they are slightly more expensive but would guarantee that the bumper would not crack after being repaired.
