The 370Z has trouble sounding good as it is. Putting side pipes on it would only make it worse. Not to mention the heat in the cabin that would produce. (Think Viper)

It's only hot in the '03-'06 Vipers due to the exhaust crossover that runs just under the seats. The '08+ corrected this and got rid of it...in cabin temperatures dropped dramatically.

Good to know! Do the side sills still get hot, or has that been taken care of too?

The sidesills still get very hot! I don't think I've had a single passenger that hasn't learned their lesson

That might not be a big deal on a car that only sold a few hundred copies each year and the owners knew what they were getting into. But could you imagine the lawsuits Nissan would get from people if they put something like that in the Z?
