Remember, this is a race car project and weight does become a factor over looks. To be honest, the car sounds much better in person and on the track. We've heard nothing but positive responses regarding that. That being said, as the car owner, I do like the other posters idea of a square exit and his diffuser. We haven't had the car that long and Robi has been working his *** off getting it ready for not only SEMA but for competition as well. I can only push him so hard :icon17:

The exhaust is not 100% finished. We'll clean it up and shave some more weight. Also, if it's not functional it won't be on my car.

We appreciate the comments and suggestions/ideas so please, keep 'em coming :tiphat:

would there be a simple way to push the center exhaust through the rear fog light hole and create a carbon layover that hides the dual exhaust cutouts and surrounds the center tip exit?

Oooh that would be all kinds of sexy for the US market. But yeah, would definitely be some custom work, or copy something like the newer Camaro. Granted, it would really get away from the racing aspect of having it but also sell to a more image driven consumer.

Or a Rounded Edge Trapezoid Tip w/e a CF insert to cover the edges of the fog

And there's another I found but the pic is a dead link :(

However, here's a link to a fany thread I saw that might interest some alternative thinking. (The motor cycle, first lambo, and Bugati are the ones I like but I'm biased)

The way I look at it, if I am sipping on a drink, I would rather have one straw that is more straight instead of two straws with a few bends.

I do not think that the benefits from this modification will be extreme or dramatic, but for those who need the extra few lbs, I am sure this is it.

Maybe after your Z34 goes all track, you can look into the F430 exhaust & diffuser combo...for something that sexy I'd throw down even though I don't own a Z :happydance:.

Uh it has to do with exhaust pulsing, etc - not drinking soda from a straw ;P

Again it really depends on what's more important to you - form or function. Dual twisty straws or a single 8" chrome plated straw with a 12" Ti tip.

ok so im wondering y 1 exhaust i thought 2 exhasut is better for more flow and y do all the supras have the single exhasut too?

NYBladeZ 12-11-2009 01:56 PM

because single exhausts save weight especially here where it's a race car application, it can be argued that it provides better flow as well which is really important in TT appications

1 big > 2 small

I am making one over the next few weeks just as a garage project, it wont be that pretty but when its jet hot coated it will be good enough, side exit for me.

Wife already kicking off as I promised I woudl not mod this vehicle.... ;-0

NYBladeZ 12-12-2009 08:56 PM

^^you and me both though I swear I never promised I wouldn't fk with the Z, it's a Z after all you can't help it especially when the market starts picking up

I'd sacrifice a lb or two or even a HP or TWO with a cool exhaust exit like the above.

Case in point...Streetbikes. Some went to undertail exhausts and some went back to the stubby side pipes. Undertail looks 1000 times cooler, like a ducati.

Togo 12-12-2009 09:16 PM

I've got undertail :D

motoextreme 12-12-2009 09:29 PM

HAHAHAHAHA...sweet!

PS. I just emailed Tony at FI to see if he would make one for me when my cars done.

Whatever happened to the center exhaust idea? Has anyone managed to produce one?
I know the only people that did center exits when I owned my 350 was stillen (looked crappy)
And fast intentions. (looked amazing)

If noone has, can anyone point me in the right direction on these boards for a quad exhaust? like this one Zele Performance 370z Pricing Official | 370zblog.com
