looks good! but probably more so because the empty slot is in the shadow in all the pics. i'm with the majority. if you could find a way to fill that slot, i think the z would look pretty dang good with a single exhaust.

Here are some pics of mine from last year, looks like yours is much higher quality. I made mine for about 300 bucks.

The muffler choice was a big deal for me... I didn't want one that looked cheap. The buddy club pro spec muffler is made really well and has more of a rounded shape to it. Not so, "N1" style-ish.

Side note, my go pro videos were doo doo. I'll have a sound clip up soon.

Nice work. Guess I'll be the odd man out and say a "V6" motor should have dual exhaust, but different strokes for different folks

Why do you say this? The factory exhausts aren't even a true dual... As a matter of fact, most aftermarket exhausts aren't true dual.

A "V" motor has two manifolds yes? A driver and passenger. Seems to me you'd want two exit points for said exhaust manifolds.

The factory exhaust on my Challenger was dual, but had a weird cross over config. Also the HUGE mufflers killed that muscle car sound so I swapped it out for a more fitting Magnaflow.

"Most" stock exhausts are more concerned with noise abatement than they are sound quality. Therefore they run the stock exhaust through all kinds of mufflers, cross overs, boxes, etc. If Nissan had a true open setup and could do whatever they wanted, it'd be dual exhaust on this car.

I ordered a FI CBE which is also a true dual setup for my Z and the sound fits accordingly. I'll do some video of it once installed.

For now here's the Challenger.

No way I'd make it single. A bit too boy ricer and 4 cylinder motor for me, but that's just my personal opinion. Like I said, to each their own.

I enjoy seeing folks do any kind of mod and the OP did some work to make this fit. Props to him.

I have Berk HFCs... I will admit that it does seem that is has a less torque down low, but it seems to pull much harder from mid-high end.

The weather is great today, sound clips will be posted!
