Oh my apologies man, I guess I know that I was too hard on OP.

No worries

Yes I am a little concerned about this as well. I also see some harnesses and wires running very close to this area and the heat might damage them over time.

I know some of you are being "creative" for this 14 dollar masterpiece but my question is how the hell do you buy a 30,000 dollar car and yet to cheap to dish out around 600 for used up to 1200 for new for a exhaust that will give you no issues.

Like I said I think it is creative but my *** would never do something that may one day harm a 30 grand car.

I said something similar to this on an earlier page, I agreed 100%. Something about this "mod" just doesn't make... sense?

Yeah I am working on a Goverment budget which if you know our pay you know it is small but I still don't cheap out on parts

Look on the classifieds a handful of exhaust for sale.

It gets better the more time u got in. I remember making 400 every 2 weeks. But being 18 and back in 03 that was enough to live on.

In 11.5 myself. Takes a while to save up for mods but that just means its all the sweeter when I do get it

Yeah I plan to never make that mistake. lol so far so good!

I personally wouldn't do it, but this is a great mod for the Z owner on a budget. It really does makes the car sound better than stock. Not everyone has the means or commitment to pay for a premium exhaust. Besides, it's not like they're putting Volk stickers on Varrstoens.

EDIT: With that said, please don't ever compare this to an Formula 1 exhaust. They're not even in the same universe.

danelonson · 05-20-2013, 04:16 PM

Today just for fun I did the washer mod just to hear it. I think it sounds pretty good and didn't feel any loss in power. I'm reluctant to remove it now because I like how it sounds. I'm still concerned with heat damaging components around the exhaust. Does anyone think that it will cause any damage? Should I leave it or bring it back to stock?
