Just FYI. If anyone wants to save a few quid and avoid getting raped by the scrappy, or nissan you can use fibreglass to repair these. Admittedly I haven't done it to my 350z yet, hopefully won't need to, but done it on my winter car, a beaten up old Mazda 323f. I took it off, cleaned the oil and rust/ paint off the outside, wacked some fibreglass matting and resin over the bottom outside and out and let it set. Sticks like @*!# to a shovel and the Mazda has done another 30k since doing it.... Of course I'm sure some will be paranoid about what the matting resin might do if it got into the engine, but its likely only to be a tiny pin prick hole so doubt you'll have issues. Just one for the cheapscates like me!

Sorry, was trying to send this by P.M but it says you cannot receive any more mail?! What's your price on the Milltek system? - Reviews look good and people seem happy New on ebay, delivered is £898...

Cheers, What's the deal with the y-pipe option on a Zed? - I'm savvy enough to know that doing anything to the exhaust after the Cat isn't really going to affect power output, but does it make for a lighter/noisier/better sounding/easier to fit system? or is it just a mod for the sake of it? Really keen to keep it as standard as possible anyway, so when you say the Cobra and scorpion are 'louder' is that 'spirited driving' louder (as in anything over 3.5K) or is it just louder all the time? - I like the sound (especially the 'pop' of the scorpion) that you see on the youtube recordings but it's impossible to gauge the volume.

Hi All, I'm new to the 350z Scene. - Had mine about 3 months, 55 plate in blade silver with the GT pack and 48K on the clock. - Absolutley love it to pieces - Was a toss up between this and a z4 - I know I made the right choice! Used to own a classic mini before, so bit of a difference in performance (but very similar in the grin factor states!) Anyhow, was giving it some wellie the other day and I heard a noticeable change in the exhaust - Got very loud and I'm pretty sure its blown a hole near the backbox somewhere (haven't got under it yet to check). My question is, what cheapish exhaust is near to the standard exhaust sonically? - I'm going to fit it myself (I'm quite mechanically minded). I love the standard exhaust sound, and volume levels (loud when you are giving it some, but quiet enough to cruise if you want) I'd like a stainless system for the 'fit and forget' nature of it, but if it's going to make the car unbearably loud, or 'chavvy' sounding then I'd rather get something else. From reading on here the consensus is that the scorpion is good, and stay away from the JapSpeed ones? is that right? Is the scorpion comparable in volume levels to the standard back box? Any advice greatly received. Rob
