shiney bits Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Hi guys and girls For some strange reason the backbox on my Z and split at the flange so needs replacing. I thought I would take the opotunity to upgrade it to a stainless one. Now theres quite a few on Ebay. Has anyone got any experience in fitting 1 of these ebay exhausts and if so did you have any issues with fitting. Heres a link of one of the exhausts I was looking at. Any help would be great. Thanks John http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/NISSAN-350Z-INFINTY-G35-EXHAUST-SYSTEM-/310236555977?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item483b8a2ac9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shiney bits Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 I dont really want something loud as its a roadster. Any advice on what to go for. I dont really want to pay mega money, which is why these ebay ones caught my eye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lrh Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 As with all cheap exhausts, expect the fit to be slightly off and that you'll need a friendly garage to tweak it. See previous threads about this exhaust: http://www.350z-uk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=39893 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 I'd highly recommend the scorpion. Not much louder than stock but certainly has a great tone and allows the v6 to be heard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiney bits Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 The scorpion is out of my pricing at the minuite mate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilp Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Ah what price is the eBay exhaust? I got my scorpion for 300 delivered from eBay. I think it's about 325 now or 330. I would recommend trying to scrape up that little extra as a poor fitting exhaust will cost more to fit and end up working out about the same.

Darren-B Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Looks a bit cheap & cheerful & will probably end up costing you more in the long run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiney bits Posted October 9, 2010 Author Share Posted October 9, 2010 The scorpion is an extra 100 quid, and unfortunatly I have to tax it this month too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren-B Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Well use this until you can afford a proper exhaust The last thing you want to do is be dis-appointed with a cheap exhaust Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darren-B Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 Does it sound anything like Will`s k1 single exit conversion? viewtopic.php?f=20&t=41022&start=30 Page 3 theres a link to youtube Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ross@japex Posted October 9, 2010 Share Posted October 9, 2010 If you can't afford a Scorpion then get your local garage to cut the flange off and weld in a piece of pipe that will slide over both sections. This should cost you no more than £40. Then you can save up, don't waste money on cheap parts you will only be disappointed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
