Irn Bru Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Got my Zed back from the paintshop today (got badly stone chipped the other week driving past a 20 tonner spewing its over loaded haul all over the car /s and road, anyway)....car is back to looking mint so gave her nice detailing inside and out. Whilst I was washing the back bumper and exhaust tips I got to thinking that because Ive got the CS rear on her (cheers Kris) and has a mesh grill bang in the middle of the muffler, what a nice mod it would be to get a third tip added to the middle, making the double tip into a tripple tip exhaust. The cat back exhaust thats on it currently is an after market stainless steel job and I was thinking of doing a internal baffle delete (for better sound) anyway, but thought that getting a third tip added at the same time would look the dog danglies, especially if the centre tip was of a slightly larger apeture. My local custom exhaust shop would be able to do this no problem, they've done my V8 Jeep (single exit tip only) and their work is superb. Has anybody seen this / done this before on a Zed, or do members think it will look s#@te ??. Quote
Bodyboarder81 Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Ill be honest mate ...... Go for it , will look amazing Amazingly bad ! Quote
evest Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 can't see it working mate. Unless they made it match the trapezoid shape of the mesh insert... and you have it as a single exit system. But then you'd have to sort out the rest of the bumper... Quote
GMballistic Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Never seen it done on a Zed before and tbh not sure it would look good but still if you like the idea go for it Irn Bru. Quote
Ian Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Just go turbo and have the screamer pipe out of the middle Quote
GMballistic Posted February 15, 2015 Posted February 15, 2015 Or how about a side-exit? See that could look pretty good if done properly. Just don't do anything like this.... 1 Quote

Ekona Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 Ferrari were mocked for it on the 458, but just about managed to get away with it because of how bloody good the car is. On a 350Z, I have to say it's going to be right up there with the worst mods I've ever seen if you go through with it. Unless it's a screamer pipe a la F40, there is no planet on which a triple exit exhaust works. Quote
GT Driver Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I'd tend to agree with Ekona - a triple exhaust on a V6 is just utterly pointless. Far better modifications you could spend your money on instead. Quote
brillomaster Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 I say if you want to do it, go for it. technically two exhaust tips is unnecessary since a 350z can run perfectly fine with a single exit. Although just having a central exhaust on a zed would be different, so maybe just do that! Quote
Irn Bru Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Or how about a side-exit? See that could look pretty good if done properly. Just don't do anything like this.... Ermm no.......wont be doing anything even remotely like that lol 1 Quote
Neilp Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 3 exhausts will look really really bad. Quote
Adrian@TORQEN Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 3 exhausts will look really really bad. Just as bad as a male with three balls... 1 Quote
Irn Bru Posted February 16, 2015 Author Posted February 16, 2015 Motion to scrap that idea carried then , cheers lads 1 Quote
brillomaster Posted February 16, 2015 Posted February 16, 2015 wait, so you mean keeping the standard exhaust tips in the same place, but then adding a third larger pipe in the middle where the mesh is? yes, that would look terrible. however if you did a single exit exhaust through the middle (either 3 separate tips like the Ferrari F40, or one massive trapezoidal one, like a lambo aventador) and then modified the bumber so there was no evidence of the old exhaust cutouts, I think that would be ok. Anyone fancy photoshopping the below image so we can see what it might look like with one big central exhaust, and none at the sides? or both? Quote
