There were other areas of feedback too. Like the bolts that came with the Y pipe: were way too short to go threw both the stock cats and the new Y pipe flange; and the holes were off alignment by 1/8 of an inch. We chalked this up to the fact that Beluga has no idea what you are going to connect it to. I made the holes in the Y pipes just a little larger and it went on fine. The rest of the install was mostly plug and play. But again, they don't know what you plan to connect it to. I just used the bolts from the stock cat's and it worked great. The hardware they did send along was really nice though, so I'm sure it will get used on another project down the road. For the $, I can't complain at all. ...and maybe that kind of metal work is expected? This is the first time I've done a catback install, so maybe I should have expected it? As feedback, I don't think a set of basic instructions would be too hard to develop. It would have been a little helpful, but then again, they did recommend "professional installation" for a reason. I just wanted to learn how to do it. It was great. Just wish I could get a Beluga Racing decal; :) that would be cool. |
Rear Rubber hangers
Ok, so for example, in this picture, notice that the rubber hanger has the stock exhaust hole (long rusty piece) on the bottom...
[IMG]http://www.the370z.com/members/coon-...9-dscf0413.jpg[/IMG] on the rear rubber hangers that hold up the very back of the stock exhaust we had to flip the position of the rubber piece so that the hole that the new exhaust hanger goes threw was on top. Once we did that, it angled the new exhaust pefectly. I will get that actual picture posted as soon as I can. This is for reference purposes only. :) |

What is the decibel difference between the stock and the beluga? Looking for something with no drone and slightly louder than stock.

So its been a few months now, would you still recommend this exhaust? Im ready to get an exhaust now, and Beluga warehouse is actually about 20 minutes from where I live which makes it extremely convenient. I just want to make sure its worth going with this particular exhaust. Any suggestions would be great.

I love it when I do take the car out I get nothing but positive feedback on the exhaust. And since they're so close if you do have any issues you can just go up there.

I read through this thread with great interest and from the initial observations this appears to be quite a nice (lower priced) alternative to the Stillen's et al.....
So doing a bit of digging in you tube I found this video posted up by Shadezz. BELUGA RACING CATBACK EXHAUST 370Z / Z34 SOUND CLIPS!! - YouTube Sounds wonderful. Plus the parts review: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=h-fpoXxRZuc Also hope I can get in touch with Shadezz and see if I can join some of the local get together's (especially the ones taking place at the Castle Rock parking lot). Love to hear this exhaust in person and determine if this is the one for me :). Also would love to get the info on your installer and a price he charged. Thanks in advance ! Here is the eBay link to Beluga (glad to see them having a rating of 100%): Nissan 370Z from beluga-racing | eBay |

|
Found it :)
Love it ! Beluga CBE with CNT Test Pipes on a Nissan 370Z - YouTube So did you ever trace the hiss? |
How are you guys still liking this? I can't stand the stock exhaust so I'm going with a cheap alternative even though it's not the greatest but it'll do.
