V35 Rusty Exhausts?

[steveyc]

Hey guys,

has any one had any experience with rusty v35 exhausts?

I'm assuming its a common problem..

If not.. should I be worried?

If any one has replaced their exhaust, (with just say stainless steel) how much did it set them back?

Thanks!

Regards

SC

Hi,

I replaced my original exhaust a couple of months ago with a cat back Stillen stainless for $1100 but it was on special at the time. Freight cost $376!!!! The original exhaust was in excellent condition with no corrosion.

HI Steve,

I don't know if you should be worried, but mine has no rust.

Thread starter,

Sorry to jack your thread, but JohnR, was that freight from the US? If so, can you please PM me with company details etc as I'm trying to get an zorst from the states at the moment myself but freight has so-far been prohibitively expensive...

Also, does anyone with actual knowledge know whether there is ANY difference between the G35 and V35 when it comes to the exhaust so I don't import a useless exhaust from the US of A?

Cheers.

The only thing to worry about, is that some US exhausts will not fit Coupes which came out with rear active steering. Exhausts such as the HKS Hi Power for example.

How tell if you've got rear active steering? NFI

sorry to bring this up from dead.

I dont seem to be able to find any catback exhaust from australia, which makes me wanna buy from the US now..

Actually was gonna the HKS Hi power, until reading NISMO's post about the rear active steering..

So, what else will fit? Fujitsubo? Borla? APS?

Anyone knows or owns one of those mentioned?

Mines somewhat rusted, but my mechanic had said in the past there was no probs getting a HKS put on............

V35 2003 Coupe

Of course, if i had the $$$ i woulda done it already....

[dannyw]

how sure r u, G33K? i really like the hi power, but if it arrives and CANT be put on, i think i gonna cry.. and there is no way to sell it either..

i tried checking hks in japan, somehow the website doesnt show HIPOWER.. only legamax?

[V35_Paul]

Only as sure as the information my Mechanic gave me, www.tunehouse.com.au - give em a call and ask for a quote...

Tell them (Tim GE.33.EK) sent you

if ur zhust has rust it might be because you car was a snow car where they put salt on the road to help melt the snow...

by far the best guys in sydney to help you out with a 350Z/V35 exhaust is Hi tech Mufflers in darlinghurst.... these guys specialise in lambos, porsche's all high end work.... for about $1300 you get a top quality exhaust system..... one that has that euro sound... not a drowing sound that you get from most of the cheap china stuff....

[ogz007]

Yeh i agree with V35driver, the owner or the specialist there is pretty much straight up wth you and what they have for you, the material and advise is genuine. you will get quality stuff for what you actually pay for. and with that, have you seen the owners ferrari? its gangsta....

[mjay]

Bit off topic but does anyone have a sound clip of the hitech exhuast?

[dannyw]

hitech website has one for 350z, but the quality was.... u cant really hear from the clip..

any owner care to upload to youtube and share??

[ogz007]

Her ya go my friend. hehehe

they do Cat back exhaust also.

a little different with the V35 from 350z, a little expansion needs to be done (piping) since our cars are a little longer.

we talked about the middle piping before on this thread.
