another thought, i could purchase the MD exhaust and have it shipped directly to you.

edit: perhaps ship just the mid-pipe to you?

If I had a 370z at my disposal I would have no problem doing that.

Yeah, but as soon as this project is done it is gone. If I had some extra time for it it would be no big deal. Mid pipe would work as long as it uses the OEM hangers before the rear axle. This would determine the length of the down pipe.

Remember, I need to build two kits here, one for the car to drive away with and one for me to keep so I can build jigs in order to duplicate the entire kit so that it is a perfect fitting kit every time

Ha, look at that I even have a picutre of it:

Why not design an all around kit that will fit the OEM exhaust setup. Then design your own exhaust on top of it? Or give buyers to buy the mid-pipe + short tail from a different source.

I think AAM designs a short tail and a few other companies make the mid pipes.

One size does not fit all. So for every exhaust system I would have to build a different mid-pope...just not goin to happen.

I will stick with the F.I down pipe, and will make the one to bolt up to the OEM exhaust...it won't hurt to have around just in case.

was this an issue for the Z33 kit?

Sasha, I'm curious what your recommendation for the exhaust would be, had you not been given a car w/ a FI exhaust already installed. i'm guessing you're running something custom on your 350. would you be willing to include an exhaust option for those who want a complete turn-key kit?

That is probably one of the cheapest options that I can find. I may even just try that exhaust out and see how it works with the kit.

If that exhaust bolts up to the OEM Y-pipe, it would work well. If it comes with it's own Y-pipe then the flange may be in a different location compared to OEM.

From what I understand, it does not come with a Y-pipe. You can buy the Y-pipe from them though if you want. Basically that exhaust comes with no Y-pipe.

Looks like it..but 2.75" does not excite me. Why didn't they go to 3"? The 2.75" will be enough to max out the stock rods, but still.

sfearl1 04-15-2012 11:03 AM

Sasha, what don't you like about the OEM exhaust? Is it the muffler design? If so, would these work? They are an axle-back replacement for the stock muffler...
