I'm not asking for advice on exhausts, can't afford to do anything about it right now and the whole system is in perfect condition, although a bit of a universal DIY jigsaw.

 

It's more of a general rant. lol

 

The general loudness is becoming annoying, I mean its REALLY loud! It's almost like there is no exhaust attached. Its de-catted, though there are some DIY pre-silencers to the rear, but I think these are straight though pipes. At the rear I have two (what I think are universal) back boxes with huge outlets. They look nice, real nice, though massive you can get your fist in there.

 

Flooring it on a motorway sounds beastly, and I like the burble I sometimes hear on slowing down. Driving around normal roads is the problem. I mean people hear me coming way before they can see me! First gear is the loudest, then second at about 2000 revs.

 

Maybe I'm getting old. I haven't let anyone else drive my Zed, so not sure how loud it is when driving, but I'm told its quieter in the car than out when driving.

 

I'd like to get a video up, but is it just me, am I just an old man now?! I'm 32!!

If I drive down a residential road in 2nd gear - with cars parked on either side... or sometimes just one side..

alarms go off. Don't do it on purpose and try to avoid it,, but it happens.

 

Same with going to the grocery store... Can't reverse into a spot or.... you guessed it ; an alarm or two go off.

straight thru pipes from each bank of my engine. pic. in rides section.

 

 

personally I love the soundtrack on my 300zx & put a Tubi-style on my NSX...

Has anyone got a Japspeed system fitted, seen them on ebay before and they sound so sweet. Pretty cheap to, but how does it perform ?
