Thinking out side the box 370z SINGLE TIP EXHAUST

shezzzhot · 11-07-2009, 11:11 PM

^^^Looks good! Should sound great too.

Bullitt, perfect! Im not that great with photoshop and that rear shot is basically exactly what I have envisioned with my drawing. Thank you for putting it into perspective with a cleaner PS job!

So, I'm confused now...is this happening for real? The way we seem to all like it? Square with a diffuser? Because if it is...please someone PM me because I obviously want in on it first LOL.

I sent an email to Artcraft I think they still have my old bumper which i could cut up and make a mock up version for both types

2 hole and Center Hole. Danny, Do you know where to get the exhaust tip?

Not really, I was thinking about contacting some of the bigger exhaust companies for a custom set or just fabricate my own and send them out to powdercoat/polish/whatever...

EDIT: Thinking something like this and asking if it can be double walled/rolled for a thicker more quality look to it. I dont know, its a start...

ColeJJones · 11-08-2009, 04:56 AM

you going to sand, mold, paint over the other exhaust outlets?

bullitt5897 · 11-08-2009, 01:42 PM

No I'm gonna cut the whole center section out and make a new one

maybe something that could be reproduced and sold

Im all about functionality, but it looks terrible. I really still fail to see how one exhaust pipe flows better than two all other things being equal. I would've kept 2 and pulled them out of the bumper. That would completely leave the rear end open for a big diffuser. Let me illustrate...

I mean our renders werent supposed to be super accurate, just an idea (unless your talking about RobiSpec's stuff

)...but if you take your version of it you still have room in the center for a single exhaust and have the diffuser work as intended...I happen to think both versions look great!

Only if we can get someone to make this...

LOL i just had a thunk: center exhaust outlet out the butthole and wheelie bars out the stock exhaust locations for the drag cars. Somebody Photochop and i will laugh.

RCZ · 11-09-2009, 04:39 PM

No, I was talking about Robispecs car. So can someone explain to me how one large pipe flows better than two large pipes? Is it a exhaust pulse thing with one pulse pulling the other out? or is this just a "lets lose weight and flow better than stock with a single bigger pipe" type thing?

I imagine it has to do with the second option; obviously I cannot speak on Robi's behalf, but it seems to me that the car will be benefiting from weight loss, less bends, and depending on their finished rear diffuser, aerodynamics.

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

Haha, with the right help, I wouldnt mind having my exhaust come out the middle of the bumper and having a giant diffuser there instead. Its too bad I don't own a shop hehe.

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.

bullitt5897 · 11-09-2009, 06:55 PM

Haha I want my straw to have a ton of funky bends! Viva crazy straws!

hehe
