TomC18 Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 I can show you one Saturday in Moorabbin and you can measure or take it as a sample - removed from a car in the 70's still not in bad condition... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aircobra Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 (edited) including some photos i think i worked out the jdm-car-parts mystery https://jdm-car-parts.com/blogs/news/15973536-original-oem-type-muffer-and-down-pipe-finally-launched its actually NOT an exact copy because the standrd off-centre connnector for generic mufflers is not the right size. so they've had to put a kink in the rear pipe to clear the opening the original, had a straight pipe, but the rear hole is somewhere in between the centre and off centre on the generic mufflers therefore the only way to make a copy is to have a custom end plate with z-specific cutout anyway,i've rung around and it seems that people don;t make custom mufflers unless they're stainless big cans and they're welded, not crimped so unless you have a big crimping machine in your garage, not going to happen Edited October 2, 2018 by aircobra gav240z 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aircobra Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 had a look inside - its as restrictive as hell - has 3 baffles and very small perforations in the tubes i dont know if anyone still has one of these, but highly likely that stock 240 sounded absolutely granny spec pretty disappointing - i though it would have some special magic inside Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators gav240z Posted October 3, 2018 Administrators Share Posted October 3, 2018 Granny spec is right up my alley, if anyone has an original muffler for sale like above. I'd be keen. I've got a 71 240z that is in need ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
