So whats the deal with this thing? (see attachment)

Does this thing do much restricting? does it weigh much? should i remove it and replace it with a straight pipe? is my car going to be too loud if i get rid of it and leave the factory muffler (twin tip).

whatcha think?

resonator mid pipe.

you can buy a catback exhaust which would rid this..

that mid resonator is ssoooooo heavy..

[zei20l]

its massive and its heavy. needs two people to drop it down. or one person that has had lots of protein shakes before bed

+1 on changing to and aftermarket cat-back!

i changed the rear muffler first, had a nice note to it. made it a little louder

then i changed the mid one, and the car was a lot louder. but not so loud that the wife and mother complain........

so what im saying is the mid muffler does a fair bit!

Off Topic, but I just gotta say that I love how you gauge the success of your modifications Iain.

If the wife's boobs hurt when in the car. You soften it suspension as that is the gauge of it being too hard.

If no complaints about the exhaust volume, it is fine to stay.

I guess it is all about knowing the threshold of the mrs, eh?

[zei20l]

actually the suspension has slowly been stiffened, and she hasnt commented yet lol

she knows the exhaust has been done, it rattles the garage door. and front door. and all the windows

Weighs a shit load. Find V35 midpipe (Or 350Z and add 7 inches, or thereabouts) Rip out old one, put in new light resonator. Win.

Sounds better, flows better, is shitloads lighter.

Got my 350Z midpipe for the best price - free.

[Sage222]

Thanks for the info guys. Looks like im getting the hacksaw out soon

[Sage222]

So a 350z exhaust 2002-2007 will fit just need to add 7" to it and it will hook up to the factory muffler?

[iamhe77]

The mid section of a 350z exhaust + the extension, yes.

Y-pip, no obviously and no chance that the 350z muffler fits due to the spare wheel well.
