Nissan 370Z Forum  

Anyone tested the Drag caused by swapping exhaust?

I'm going to sell my exhaust now and revert to stock. I need to make sure I'm as aerodynamic as possible.

Sounds like an opportunity for someone to develop a fireproof foam insert to fill the gap. Only way to find out is to line up a stock Z and a Z with upgraded exhaust and wind sail for a 1 mile race.
