Back Box

[HaydnH]

Hi All,

 

I'm getting motordyne ART decats and XYZ y-pipe fitted at abbey in a couple of weeks and I'm already considering what I should do to replace the standard back box. I'm quite taken by the Amuse R1 titan, however I'm not sure I could convince myself to spend that sort of cash and can't find just the back box for sale so I'd have a y-pipe etc left over.

 

Ideally I'd like to stay dual tips, titanium (love that blue), fit the standard y-pipe (well, motordyne xyz anyway) and not sound too much like a 747 taking off.... any ideas?

 

Cheers,

 

Haydn.

The Amuse doesn't come with a Y-pipe, thats an uber rare extra

 

Theres a knock off Amuse that quite a few on my350z seem to like

Haydn, just had the ART decats and XYZ fitted to my car at Abbey and the sound is awesome even with the standard mid-pipe/backbox. Still quiet when cruising on the motorway but under load above 2k rpm thru to redline nicely vocal and more 'exotic' sounding than standard. I'll replace my mid/rear section when the standard one dies.....probs with a 5zigen pro-racer A-spec. They look imo and although not titanium they do have the burnt tips Mark from Abbey said that would probs work quite well with the XYZ/decat combo Happy Xmas!

Got the same set up as you from abbey,keep the back box if its a uk one,if not get a uk one,imo the sound is great,stealth under 4k then roars to the red line.

Guess you mean this one? Seems much more reasonably priced, I'll have to do a search for reviews etc when I have time.

If you aren't going to do a bumper tuck get the exhaust that sounds best in your price range and get the tips done in titanium. I think Jay got that done on here

How about a Greddy Spectrum Elite:

Blue tips, tasteful sound and not too expensive either. It's only a back box, not even a mid pipe is included, but from what Abbey have said the y-pipe is the main bit to sort out as the rest of the system is good for 400bhp or so. If you decide you want it a bit louder later on you could get a custom exhaust place to knock you up a straight through mid pipe for peanuts.

 

If you don't fancy ordering from the US I'm sure Chilli Red could probably get one of these for you.
