Harryjax Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Has anyone ever fitted this exhaust? Look at this on eBay: NISSAN 370Z Z34 STAINLESS STEEL TITANIUM TIPS CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM http://bit.ly/SZnvDJ Where is the best place to get a stainless steel exhaust from and what do they cost? Would this be a DIY job? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Its not one we have ever seen or even fitted before, we do the Scorpion and Milltek exhaust systems for the 370z, both are tried and tested... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Some info on the Milltek system we recently supplied and fitted to a members 370z - http://www.350z-uk.com/topic/64435-milltek-370z-exhaust-system-now-fitted/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev T Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 I can recommend the HKS Super Sound Master system fantastic build quality and loud enough to be pleasant but no drone on long journeys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Mate, hopefully you dont mind me saying this... but surely you didnt spend all that money on a 370z to then go and buy some crap from ebay. If it were me I would stick to a well known make like CS is offering or if you really want to be different go down the custom made route.

Trust me not everything on eBay is crap. I have purchased lots from eBay and have been very happy with everything. Anyway back to the exhaust. If any one can advice me on the item or the best place to get one, but please leave my choice of where I shop out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Did you feel that strong about it that you had to post twice? Listen its your car do what you wish. But you do get what you pay for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Not everything from eBay is crap, personal i look for brand names as they are tried and tested, especially when it comes to something of high price. For example... When i bought my car i had some random air intake on it, put in the k&n and it felt like i had a ferrari, an air intake doesn't increase bhp much, but a bad one will reduce. Could turn out to be a good exhaust though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jay was offering his opinion in an effort to help you, trust me, there have been some horror stories on this forum particularly relating to cheap exhausts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 looks a nice system, sadly can;t comment on quality as not seen before. i would say have a look at tarmac sportz website, they seem to have the widest selection for the 370Z. if your serious about that exhaust i'd want to know what quality stainless they used it seems its T304 which is good, i'd be tempted to go for something with 321 or 347, but thats not common. the only other issue is going to be fit. if its a good fit your laughing, if its a poor fit, then your exhaust fitter is going to have his work cut out.

rtbiscuit Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 that will most likely be a chinese copy of a branded system.if its a copy then its had all the R&D done on it already by the original manufacturer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philb1965 Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 For me personally I''d buy off a trader on the forum as you know you'll be getting a decent product at a fair price. You'll also know you get good customer service should soemthing go wrong...priceless in my opinion. Ebay is a bit faceless for me, even if the trader has tonnes of feedback. I think a reasonable exhaust starts around then £800 mark? All depends on your budget really. If you can pick the eBay one up for 2 or 300 might be worth a punt but I'd go for a named brand.

ChrisS Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 NISSAN 370Z STAINLESS STEEL CATBACK EXHAUST SYSTEM This exhaust is made to the highest standard and gives a very deep aggressive sound through the twin Titanium 3.5" tailpipes. Made from mandrel bent T304 stainless steel. 2.75" bore. Will improve throttle response and increase power by up to 15BHP. Mirror polished all the way through, not just the tailpipes. Actual picture of the item you will receive. Gaskets and bolts included. Burnt tips for the titanium look. We recommend all exhaust components are fitted by a qualified mechanic to ensure the correct fitment, Sold for off-road / Track use only. Is the last statement just to cover any come backs etc.. Looks light though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtbiscuit Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 lots of parts are sold as off road use. most decats are for off road use. my guess is its not TUV approved, but then thats not uncommon for chinese copies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddcboyle Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Itll be a replica. Its just how cheaply made the replica was youd need to think about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - nothing wrong with Ebay - use it lots myself. But for something as fundamental as an exhaust system for a sports car I wouldn't chance it unless it was a recognisable brand. Got my exhaust from Tarmac - great service and very happy with the product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ebized Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 I've lost count of the replica parts we have seen on ebay for 350 parts, most of which from reports back turn out to be absolute shite and a waste of money. But not wishing to generalize, sometimes the replicas turn out to be sound and feedback has been a few are considered better than the genuine article. For me, I would always want to see others experiences with said item, whether that is from a recognized supplier or a copier, before I parted with my hard-earned. So I would advise about doing an advanced search on here for info, or if that doesn't come up trumps, to then post an ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 hmm, well at the price that one went for (£77) its gotta be worth a punt! even though its a blatant copy of an Exoticspeed exhaust, which sell for nearly $1000... problem with copy exhausts is the grade of steel is lower so they'll discolour quite quickly, welds arent as good, and it might have fitting issues. it might look good for a while, but a geniune article will stay looking good for the lifetime of the car. But then again, at £77, you could buy a new one every year for 7 years for the same price as one genuine one... tempting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Posted November 21, 2012 Share Posted November 21, 2012 Maybe its just me.. but I rather save up and get an exhaust that I know is going to work and last longer than a year lol. I am a lazy sod tho so its prob the hassle part that gets me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harryjax Posted November 21, 2012 Author Share Posted November 21, 2012 The exhaust sold for £77. But on their website (www.2fast2cool2.co.uk) the same exhaust sells for much much more. I have made contact with them and asked where this exhaust comes from and asked if there were any video of it fitted to a 370z. There reply was although not disclosing the manufacturer they Assured me that it is made in the UK and there is no video. The item has now finished so a 370z owner in the UK now owns it. Whoever it is please post a report. Next time I see it on eBay I'm buying one. If it turns out to be disappointing I've not wasted too much dish.
