mike150 Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Hi people, I'm in Northern Ireland and I've just bought a Z, 05 UK GT in grey, it's standard except for a NISMO gear knob! Can you help? I love the noise of it (though not as good as the Porsche 928 S4 Sport I had 5 years ago! 5 liters of V8 sounds great) but want it a bit louder + my standard pipe looks a bit rusty. I don't want to spend much and I spotted this : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :IT&ih=012 I'm sure lots of you have seen it but I don't really know anything about it, do any of you? If so what is it and whats it worth? It looks like Japspeed on the tail pipe. Thanks for any help! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TTconvert bought one and then quickly tried to sell it as it was too loud for him. It looks incredibly similar to the one that ESR sell as the K1 but whilst you may pay more with ESR you know you will have some come-back if there are any problems.

mike150 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Thanks Digsy, that's maybe enough for me as I don't want something to loud, I saw an Astra coupe last night and the pipe on it was as loud as a Moto GP bike............I don't want that, just a bit louder, nice tailpipes and a bit more power. Not something that gives you a headache on the motorway! I'm looking at - SCORPION £375.....MONGOOSE £495......MAGNAFLOW £425 (15% Dis from here) Scorpion looks nice for the money and I read a wee review on it but I can't find any sound clips......... Gonna have a look now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I seem to remember someone saying the scorpian is okay until you accelerate and then it sounds like the gates of hell have opened. May also be a bit loud for you Youtube has most of the sound clips although they aren't always a true indication of the real sound. Best bet is to go to a meet and listen to the other's. Nismo is a safe bet, as it sounds great but not ott. Gotta pay a bit more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike150 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 HHHHmmmmmmm Powerflow sounds the best UK exhaust on youtube. Scorpion sounds a bit I'm terrible with big important decisions like this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmJak Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Just bear in mind that youtube vids may feature cars with induction kits / y pipes / high flow cats etc which all alter the sound. What's your exhaust budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Just bear in mind that youtube vids may feature cars with induction kits / y pipes / high flow cats etc which all alter the sound. What's your exhaust budget? Most importantly the mike and what its recorded on make a huge difference. Also bear in mind that you'll be inside the car and not sitting two feet from the tailpipes. Best way is to get to a meet and get a ride inside some cars. The only real way to test out a zorst IMHO. On the other hand if you can stretch to £850 the Nismo seems to be loved by 99% of people who buy it, so could be a safe choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike150 Posted September 7, 2008 Author Share Posted September 7, 2008 Budgets low! as low as you can go after all it's just some tubing that makes more noise and it's dead money when you stick it on the car. I don't know of anyone with a 350Z except me never mind a modded one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarnie Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 I don't know of anyone with a 350Z except me never mind a modded one! Thats why you go to 'meets', to meet other people with 350z's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roast350z Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 i bought a invo auto exhaust at jae i loved the quality and was only 350 quid! fitted like a dream and gives it a deeper sound to standard not too loud, quite simular to nismo so well worth a look! think they are gong for about £450+vat on there site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 Meets are the best way to find out however not too many in Northern Ireland that I know of! The scorpion sounds nice in my opinion and is very good value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ52day Posted October 15, 2008 Share Posted October 15, 2008 This is all a bit confusing. I need a new exhaust as it has seen better days! “Two flanges blowing, but sounds good.†Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
