Washer Mod
 

Just tried it for ***** and giggles. Is sounds nice. No rasp or clanky noises. Nice deep loud tone. Quiet at idle or lets say it doesn't lope like a drag car. When you get on it, it's pretty loud. Deep throaty loud. Not that bad from the inside either. This was a 45min drive around. Will see how it wears after awhile. Didn't use washers. Couldn't get the bolts apart enough to put the washers in. So I just stuck a little peice of pipe that was around the same size as 4 washers. The bolt is welded in place. Don't know if it's because its a Nismo exhaust or what. Overall it's a nice satisfying sound. And it's free and easy to do. No drone either. Not at any rpm. Took me 15min and I didn't have to back the car up on ramps. I was surprised how good it sounds. Not for sure but according to the butt dyno I think it lost a little bite on the low end. Gonna roll like this for awhile. :driving:

And you did what again?????????????????????????????????????

post a vid!! I'm curious lol

I did this bc I was bored and curious while waiting for my FI exhaust... way too much drone and way too raspy. This is comin from someone who likes it pretty loud and isn't sensitive to drone. Keep in mind I also had FI HFC when I tried this out so that made it louder im sure. Anyways didn't care much for it at all but it is cheap and easy and I can understand how painful the stock nismo exhaust is to live with bc of its restrictiveness of the exhaust tone. Especially on a car that looks this bad ***. Just my 2 cents.

***** and giggles aside, ..... get an exhaust system. Your Z deserves better!

A video won't do the sound justice. And there are plenty on youtube punch up washer mod 370z. And it probably did drone with HFC and was even louder. But stock, uncorking the muffler made this car sound good, no drone. If this is how it's going to sound with a muffler delete, which i'm still not sure because it's a small gap now vs a straight through pipe. May be slightly louder??? Don't want it louder, it's perfect the way it sounds. And it's easy to do I can go back to normal in a snap. Less than 10 min 15 min. Hmm maybe i'll install some kind of exhaust cut out.

:facepalm:

I know right but it sounds good with no drone. I want to get the aam short tails but don't know how loud it is in comparison to this. Can't be much louder right. A few people in here have done a muffler delete and they say it drones. But the washer mod doesn't drone. Well it's free and easy and who looks underneath a car anyways. :vuvuzela:

have AK update your handle to Nismoric0r

Love the sound from the washer mod. Now I know what it sounds like in person. Pullin the trigger on doing a muffler delete at a muffler shop. Would get the aam short tail but it costs less at a muffler shop and I'll be able to use the Nismo tips. :driving:

Oh pleez.......

:ohsnap1:

+1 to Kenchan! lol

lawlz same, just get a real exhaust before that falls off and ruins your car haha

Too late did the muffler delete. Was excited went to same shop that I always have my exhausts done at. They weren't busy. And WTF. It's even louder, slight drone at lower rpm range. Sounds terrific from the outside but inside.... It's a little too loud. Gonna live with it for now but don't know how long. Slight vibrations too here and there. 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. :shakes head:

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