Exhaust Design and Component Selection for Refreshed L26 in a 260z

[peter mc]

there not the sw pipes i use there just his cheep set the good ones are 900 plus  the ones you have put up are just for  street cars that need a set of pipes

Or you could have bought my system including good headers with blue coating for $500 bolted it up and then put a centre resonator in if you weren't happy.

 

 

You are getting way to serious about this for what is basically a stock L26.

In my opinion you would be crazy to spend heaps of money on an exhaust for this engine when a cheap system will give you basically the same results when done right.

 

 

At the end of the day a stock L26 isnt going to sound the same as a built L28 with triples, no matter what exhaust.

Thanks for reminding me Jake, I really do want HPC coated headers and stainless steel pipes and magnaflows, so your system isnt really a cost effective option for me.

Maybe cheaper headers and better mufflers will suit you bet?

 

Yep spot on, that's exactly what I'm getting! The HPC coating and stainless are for the look and longevity of the system. Peter just pointed out these are the 'cheap' SW headers.

 

The general info I have posted above is a handy reference for the next person that comes along, the performance considerations aren't really a significant factor, for the reasons you've said.

No problems, i wasn't having a go and I didn't know you were set on stainless either.

I've got a PMC exhaust with the magnaflows in 3" if you would like to come over and look at the exhaust for the L34. Should be running the week after christmas.

That sounds like a great idea! No worries at all.
