I can probably confirm this, seeing as my exhaust on my Camaro was fully dumped RIGHT below my drivers seat lol. I certainly didnt pass out...

Man...you guys are rough. What's so bad about what these guys are doing? A couple members here have done the muffler delete and nobody had anything bad to say about them. All these guys are doing is a partial muffler delete. We all know it's not a performance mod, but WHO CARES??? You guys should use the time that you're spending picking on these guys and use it to make fun of the dude that's running stetched tires and a -12 degree rear camber.

Seriously.

Oh my god...I was wondering how the hell this thread got to 5 pages and so finally i had to come in to check it out and WOW. I really hope no one gets air of this on other forums.

Now lets wait for a Japanese company to come out with titanium exhaust spacers and charge $1200 for them.

In all seriousness though, I've been wondering -- is this kind of thing really all that uncommon? Like if I were to go acquaint myself with the Mustang community, or the Camaro community, or even the STi or EVO communities, would I find that there are guys over there doing this as well? Or are we really now at risk of being laughing stocks if people on other cars' forums catch wind of this?

Thanks for everybody's feedback. Any criticism is appreciated

In the end. I am happy and so are the other people who have done this.

One face palm just doesent cover this one. You guys are killing me here!!! You have purposly created an exhaust leak which exhaust fumes are going to get into the cabin of your car and KILL you!!

Hey 2fast4thelaw.

1) The leak is small.
2) It is worse to remove your cats/install LTH/ or do a full delete
3) Catalytic converters were made for a reason. Google it.

Thanks for your input.

This mod is temporary. I don't have money to blow off. (at least not yet!)

Why do you care so much about what other people think about what I have done to "disgrace" the 370z community?

Car sounds good.. are there any hp gains? (someone should dyno out of curiosity) maybe maybe not.. The facts are that I am happy. I didn't spend 1k+ for an exhaust system. I have no regrets. The end

It better have that beautiful blue burnt finish or I'm gonna be pissed.

So then, you admit that you have disgraced the 370z community, right? I just want to make sure we're clear on that. Maybe some people care too much about the reputation of this community, maybe not. I could see arguments for both sides. But it's nice to see that you at least acknowledge that you're a disgrace to this community.

And btw, I think you should re-read my post. I was actually trying to defend you by suggesting that there are probably people with other cars who have done the same thing, so there's no reason be concerned that what you've done will single out the 370z community for embarrassment. But then you went and admitted to everyone that you've disgraced the community, choosing instead to advance the argument that nobody should care because hey, you're happy, and as long as you're happy that's all that matters, right? Never mind that your happiness may come at the expense of the reputation of the rest of the community. Who cares? It's all about your personal happiness. You're the only person in this universe who matters. Like you said, no regrets. It's all about you, because you're number 1!

I don't know you, so in all seriousness, I don't want to judge you because I actually get the impression from some of your posts that I might enjoy hanging out with you in person. You just seem like the kind of easy-going type of person that I enjoy hanging with. But I gotta tell you, just for the sake of your awareness, that your "I'm happy and that's all that matters" attitude really makes you come off sounding like a bit of a selfish douche. I'm guessing that you're anything but selfish, which is why I want to point out the impression that you're projecting here (inadvertently, I presume).

Great idea! I'm going to make a fortune!

No, they don't do this. I was on a Subaru forum for a long time and I had a lot of evo friends, it would have been as bad there as it is here. Not that I genuinely care if people in other forums say or don't say, its just that this is something to be expected from the '98CivicVtecpowa.com or from a crew member of the infamous Icy Hot Stuntaz. Its the same as drilling holes in your muffler.

Relax with that sarcasm, trust me, you will go much further without it at your age.

It's really not that big a deal...it's his car, leave him alone to do whatever he wants to with it. Nobody is out there judging the community of 370z owners? lol
