RB30X Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 There a few exhuast threads around but no one really shows any pics what sort of tips they're running at the rear. What do you think looks best and what is tacky etc. Singles, twins out the LHS, twins with one out each side?, a drifter style cannon?? Keen to see yours to get some ideas. cheers Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted June 6, 2009 Moderators Posted June 6, 2009 Ive always like the twin pipes either on the left side or just straight up the middle; I had the latter for all but a day, had to change it because it was just way too loud. Asked the exhaust guys to build it out of 1 3/4" but they decided to use twin 2" pipes. Still looking for a good place that actually listen to what you want... Another favourite was just the single 2.5" or 3" on the left but for me the do NOT do is the cannon muffler...Just cheapens the car that little bit. Quote
modular9 Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 single 2.5 inch straight through. Slash cut. No chrome tip. I got the exhaust guys to raise it as close as it could go to the chassis I happen to like raw exhaust style. I know it will go all manky blackstainagey. Quote
George Posted June 6, 2009 Posted June 6, 2009 mine are nice and subtle from the outside. the tips you see there are the old ones with the new ones looking very much the same except for a 30 degree angle cut. Quote
waxhead Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 That looks awesome with the twin outlets Nice looking car Quote

It is very loud. I had it tested and it was 119 DB at 4500rpm. Its amazing at 7500rpm, but ears bleed if you go into a tunnel and open it up . If you want to sell that set up I'll buy it off you. I had a similar experience when I went to an exhaust shop to get a flange put in so I could unbolt the exhaust to access the gearbox. They did that fine, but in order to put the flange in they put some ridiculous bend in the exhaust and it never sounded quite a clean after that . I agree canon muffler = rice boy lancer look Quote
Michael Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 I agree canon muffler = rice boy lancer look I Know And I Hate having one, P/o Threw it on, its disgraceful >< But one thing that is good is its Set up in 3 Places, - 6 into 1 3inch Extractors, Then goes into 2.5" threw one hotdog, Then joins just before the diff into a Squiggly Bend Threw to the Cannon -ew Yuck xP So im headed to the exaust place soon to get a Stocky Piece made for the end And also a Straight threw Piece so itll be interchangeable depending on mood/ Situation All this until i can go Twin pipes from Extractors back in Stainless =] Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted June 7, 2009 Moderators Posted June 7, 2009 Sorry Gav, I had it modified to become a single system after the diff then I sold the system when I installed the RB engine as that system was to big for a 2.5 liter engine. I'm thinking when my L24 is installed to do the same twin system again! A member in the NDSOC, you may have heard of him Dirk Verslys (I hope that's the right spelling!) has a very sweet twin setup similar to my original twin on his animal of a 240Z that sounds sooo chunky, I would love to replicate that! I do have his number so when it comes time to do the exhaust, I have to see his system and what he has used...I remember it wasn't that loud and sounded great! Quote

Sounds good although I enjoy it being loud. http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=4 http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=20 http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=35 http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=44 http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=45 http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=1&pos=47 Don't have any pics of under the car yet. I want to get this system redone eventually to suit the new engine I'll be building. Quote
Cdr Zero Posted June 7, 2009 Posted June 7, 2009 You can see my exhaust tip in this pic, I think it looks cool: Quote
Sir Ricer Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 Me have dual exhasut.....Might go bigger next time. Quote
waxhead Posted June 8, 2009 Posted June 8, 2009 thats awesome. i want exhausts like that on my car, i want to make sure i have no back pressure. I can also climb up there and scrub the back of the exhaust valve. Quote
RB30X Posted June 8, 2009 Author Posted June 8, 2009 I can also climb up there and scrub the back of the exhaust valve. No chance, the primaries would be too small. At a minimum, you could check the condition of the exhaust turbine wheel. Quote
zedevan Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 I'd love to get the tips attached - taken from classiczcars where a guy was selling off a few that he'd found somewhere Quote
xa1973 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 Nice tips, clean and tidy Z also.. matches his garage... I wonder if he does any work in it... Quote
RBZ 260 Posted June 20, 2009 Posted June 20, 2009 here are mine can shoot soccer balls and basketballs out of it. not worried about back pressure the less the better at least is JDM HKS brand not autobarn/supercheap junk. http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-1623 http://www.viczcar.com/gallery/displayimage.php?pos=-1940 Quote
Moderators Zedman240® Posted June 20, 2009 Moderators Posted June 20, 2009 Nice tips, clean and tidy Z also.. matches his garage... I wonder if he does any work in it... Hahahaha.. I can take a pic of my missile testing site that I call a garage...and yet I don't really do that much in there... Just have to dodge the occasional Tomohawk's.... Quote
RB30X Posted June 21, 2009 Author Posted June 21, 2009 I'm definently not a fan of the vertical twins tips. Quote
zedevan Posted June 21, 2009 Posted June 21, 2009 I wasn't either, but its grown on me alot in terms of something different its definately up there! although looks kinda crap on ISF's Quote
tbscobraZ Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 JDM muffler for the win. I think the verticals are interesting. Decent looking single with slant tip is always a safe bet. Quote
pauly_adams Posted June 25, 2009 Posted June 25, 2009 looks like mine a bit rbz but mines a 3 inch hks exaust from a twin turbo 300zx, mind you it has a 6 inch tip like yours ill post some pics up tomorow all i have to say about the tips is long live the ricer exaust and not that cheap knock of crap. cheers pauly Quote
RBZ 260 Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 i love my JDM mufflers HKS, Apexi, trust/greddy, Blitz just to name a few.. excellent quality and they sound awsome. pauly mine came of a R33 GTR so same cannon as yours but had 4" piping. i did replace the pipes for 3" stainless but internally its still 4" monster. i know people dont like the huge mufflers but i do. i needed straight through high flow and no one does it better than the japs.

pauly_adams Posted June 26, 2009 Posted June 26, 2009 well here it is my 3 inch monster and man does it make one nice purr. Quote
