it usually is ricer mentality to pay for things because they dont have the ingenuity to come up with modifications themselves so its understandable.

on a side note. the washer method works well. tried it. and its a very good blend of sound. It sounds almost stock under normal driving and only around 60+ can you really hear the exhaust over the wind/road noise. but under heavy acceleration it sounds really nice and very clean.

Yeah, paying for parts that are actually engineered and tested by professionals is rice. Hey, why even buy a car? I mean, let's be consistent here. Following your line of reasoning, you should have the ingenuity to come up with, and build, your own car. I mean, buying a pre-made car that someone else designed? Dude that's so rice!

The 370z isn't the most expensive car around but I think it deserves better than the muffler delete treatment. Come on guys, have a little pride.

Actually it is the ricer mentality to pay as little as possible to nothing to create a modification, the use of payment is meant to get a better, higher quality, more engineered designed product.

Well first off, took my muffler off and I thought my car sounded great. I will probably have my buddy fab up some pipes and tips for me soon. I don't see spending the money on the exhaust until I'm ready to do the twin turbo kit I have planned. I do think this "mod" of removing your muffler is meant more to change the sound of your vehichle rather than to gain any substantial amount of hp or torque. However, and correct me if I'm wrong, any increase in air flow should yeild some sort of performance gain. I mean a cat back you buy from a manufacturer is suppose to give you a power gain. Well this is more or less a cat back exhaust with the stock piping. You are still increasing the airflow by deleting the muffler so, even if by a small amount, you should gain power as well, of coarse, drop weight. Just my two cents. Either way I think it sounds great!
