Regarding 250Gt Exhausts

[beercat]

Hey there, I'm from Malaysia and recently acquired a 2002 250GT. It's done 122k kms,

but is still in pretty good condition. Have yet to clean the intake manifold and block the

EGR. Previous owner also threw in an Injen CAI kit and a West Coast Customs bodykit.

Since installing the CAI kit and liberating the VQ25DD's voice, I've been feeling the itch

and so am now in search of an exhaust for the car, and have come to ask for your

expert advice! The 250GT is a great car, trying not to mod it too much as I've got another

car for autocross/trackdays, but it's a crime to restrict a car's performance It's my

comfortable car though so am aiming to keep it quiet (< 3k) until you give it the beans.

Regarding extractors/headers, can my VQ25DD use extractors for the VQ35?

It's hard to find V35 parts here in Malaysia but I can get hold of Z33 bits. I've found

a second-hand Fujitsubo cat-back exhaust for the Z that's going for around 900 AUD

(muffler is a wide one with twin exit), but am considering getting a full system. The

shop has offered to assist me in ordering a brand new system from Japan but that's

on the pricey end of things.

There is the option of building a custom exhaust system but, as there is a lack of

proper R&D time, there's a high chance of exhaust drone and I really don't want that

on this car.

Also, can the cats be removed? (Haven't actually taken a look under the car yet hehe)

Basically wondering whether the ECU will throw a check engine light.

Thanks!

No one knows if the VQ25 and the VQ35 have the same head or atleast can use the same exhaust manifolds?
