Suits Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 Any new additions mate? An epic exhaust I see....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS13Silvia Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 (edited) Lol, you must be mixing me up with someone else guys, I've not bought anything for my car... Oh wait, yes, you're right, an uber bad ass exhaust is now on it! Decided to click the sub-forum of death on here, otherwise known as 'for sale' and ended up buying an Akrapovic Exhaust! Knew about this exhaust for a while, it was top of my list, however couldn't justify blowing over £2k on an exhaust in my current situation. Anyway, spoke with Wayne, a great person to deal with, highly recommended seller. Everything as described & and sale went through as perfectly as you'd like. Zero complaints! Sunday morning it was delivered so after a fry up I brought it round & into the conservatory, obviously.. Gave it a quick clean up & had a look in person. We all know the exhaust is good quality, but I didn't actually realise just how good, neatest exhaust I've ever seen! There's Akrapovic symbols dotted about in really thoughtful places, welds are spot on, really was impressed with it. An hour later a mate came round, we put the exhaust in his car & drove up to his parents place where they have a very large garage with a pit. Standard exahust was already starting to go a bit rusty Good start, snapped a bolt on one side Then the other side too Rich working away, he did pretty much all of this for me to be honest, well I wasn't going to complain lol Full system removed New system going in And all done A very quick video for you, not the best quality by any means, it sounds soooooo much better in real life http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vm7cU9vNmuM First impressions are great, start up there's a nice burble, as the idle drops down to normal rpm you don't even know it's on there. Normal speed driving it's very subtle, how it should've come out the factory imo. Open it up, above 4,000 rpm and on down shifts it's absolutely immense! It's a really, really nice sound, I've never heard a V6 in person with better clarity than this, another great thing, you speed up to 80mph or so, hit cruise control and it's vertically silent, same as standard. Won't have any issues at all with long journeys which is a bonus. It could be louder yes, however that's not what I'm after, been in silly loud cars for 6 years, it's time to grow up & have a sensible and mature exhaust for once, being true dual this makes a proper sound! In terms of performance, can't actually notice any improvements to be honest, the pick up is slightly quicker though as it flows a lot easier. Not after any performance increases to be honest, it's quick enough for what I need. All in all, it's awesome & I love it! :yahoo: :yahoo: This SHOULD be the very last update in terms of mods now, it sits how I want & sounds how I want. Zed ownership is brilliant :D :D Edited March 23, 2017 by PS13Silvia 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suits Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Sweet. I wanted this but I've got a silly Xbox One on preorder this month, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS13Silvia Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 lol, bad timing fella, you coulda ordered an Xbox anytime! I will admit, this exhaust did come with a slight compromise against a couple parts on my Evo though... Tut tut... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sipar69 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Nice work. A decent exhaust transforms the sound of the car I believe some people sort the knocking issue by putting a few washers in to create some extra space....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

R34Nigel Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Awesome read. I think I have had most of the cars on your list, and about 20 more... Pulsars, Silvias, Skylines (5), Scoobies (4) Evos (3) including my favourite, the III. Mine was built with E8 internals 6 years ago and it was a hooligan. I have just sold my last Skyline (R34 GTR) and I am now looking to get a nice 370Z as my daily driver, and I think your write up has just cemented my decision. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, that's most likely what will be needed here, after driving it a couple days it's really settled down, doesn't knock anywhere near as much straight after fitting / driving home! Awesome read.

eXceed Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Glad to hear you're enjoying it mate, I told you it was an epic exhaust. REALLY makes the car into a much nicer sporty environment to be in. Definitely should have come like this as standard, keep us updated on the rattles. I was told there shouldn't be any issues on standard cat but I guess everyone's car is different . Downshifts are frankly ludicrous with this exhaust, improvement is immense. I'm excited for you mate ! I'm sporting something a LOT quieter for the time being until next year! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm excited for you mate ! I'm sporting something a LOT quieter for the time being until next year! Hi mate, sorry for delayed reply, been working loads on my other car. I've cheated and put a tie around the standard hanger, to extend it that extra 5mm which has done the trick & shut it up. Pushed the exhaust down and off the rear bars it was fouling on. Problem solved Got used to it nicely now, so glad I got if on my car, love it! Should have sounded like this from the factory IMO, it's how I hoped this car would've sounded after buying it. Next up in the pipeline is road tax, so nothing exciting lol. Probably just brakes to be honest, getting some squeeks at low speed which is a usual sign they need attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smokeyjoe Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Enjoyed that read. Car sounds great, Im 23 and only have a 350z, where did I go wrong? I think I need to work a little harder! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naz2k5 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 hey, car looks sweet, n sounding good ive got the akrapovic, but wanted a lil more sound so put on some berk HFC's and reckon it sounds perfect now. Heres the clip if you're tempted I reckon it finished it off nicely 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing wrong with that fella, they're great cars! It's pure luck I am where I am to be honest. All I do is coding, nothing special hey, car looks sweet, n sounding good ive got the akrapovic, but wanted a lil more sound so put on some berk HFC's and reckon it sounds perfect now. Heres the clip if you're tempted I reckon it finished it off nicely As awesome as that sounds my car will retain the stock cats. Loud cars for too long makes me appreciate a more subtle system. Do you use your 370 daily like that out of interest? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

naz2k5 Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 Yeahh I use it daily, it's not that loud unless you thrash it, I just felt it was still a little too quiet with just the exhuast. But unlike you this is my first "loud" car so maybe I'm just enjoying it haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the loud stuff I leave to my mates that bazz around in Hondas Car looks and sounds awesome Was your CZ-T featured in Redline by any chance? Thanks Not while I owned it. Local lad bought it off me back in 2009 who sold it not long after (everyone knew it as my car which he didn't like, it wasn't anything new to the local area as he's 5 miles down the road) After him a lad bought it to track apparently, not heard anything since. It's possible Htec Elite / Dynodaze have used my car for their adverts, or it's just been pictured at their events as it's over Leicster way last I heard. They're CZ-T tuning specialised and also run CZTOC (owners club) who I worked with when developing & testing parts new to the market.
