I can feel a little from the steering wheel and the seat. Crap I left the Nismo muffler there. I'll get it in the morning, hopefully it's still there. Sounds awesome but a little too loud. Not raspy at all, good deep tone but loud.

why did you need a shop to remove your muffler again?

Don't forget to add the hood scoop to finish off your performance mods!

Didn't do it for performance did it to get some sound.

good to hear you got the baffle installed to get it toned down a little.

so you like it better than the washer mod, right?

Nismoracer · 01-12-2011, 02:51 PM

Of course. Did the washer mod because I was curious. You've seen the videos. Had to do it to see how it sounded in person. It's not like it takes alot of time or skill to do.

whats a washer mod

Ron · 01-26-2011, 08:16 PM

Its when u put a couple of washers to separate the muffler from the rest of the exhaust. Thus creating an exhaust leak, which will make the car sound louder. There's a couple of threads with pictures, do a search

wow i didnt even know about this... But wont it make it rasp like TEST PIPES???

Ron · 01-26-2011, 09:18 PM

Nop, no rasp. I tried it with two 5/16 washers on each bolt just out of curiousity. It actually sounds good but I did feel the lost in backpressure causing the car to rev faster but not go anywhere lol. I took them off as soon as the exhaust cooled down.

when you rev your nismo in neutral does it stop at 5,000rpm???

Ron · 01-26-2011, 09:53 PM

I don't rev mi nismo in neutral, but its normal for a 370z to limit revs at 5k on an unloaded engine to avoid causing damage
