I suppose I could drive at low revs, and if I see a cop I can shut off the engine and coast...

I'm so tempted to drive it around, hehe :nervous:

yep ..drive it man ..I did ..the guys in the shop had a good laugh when I pulled in .. sounds mean!!!!

I'll be running a 2 1/4" tubing with a Dynomax Superturbo. I suppose it will still sound sweet once it's all put together.

I could have sworn there was a thread here where people posted the sounds of their Z's...

So I've got the system on. The guy insisted I get a new catalytic converter, so I said OK, even though they are $250 installed. I had him flange both ends so I could put a test pipe in though (which is prepared and will go in tomorrow).

All together, $350. It's funny to think that minus the cat, it only cost $100 bucks!

At least now I'll have a brand-spanking-new cat ready to swap in when smog day comes.

Superturbo mufflers are too quiet!! I might have to edit this once I take out the catalytic converter though, hehe.

sweet! gotta let us know how it goes.

prox - i love your car (but you already knew that)

So here's some updates:

Overall, I'm not impressed with the quality of the job. The guy is pretty old, but super nice, so I can't be too critical, but I just thought over the course of 40 years of tubing bending, doing a Z would be a no-brainer.

The tubing hangs a little low for my taste around the differential, and the muffler is mounted so close to the rear of the car that it occationally rubs on the inside of the rear valence support.

He welded the entire system up by eye, meaning that nothing was plumb to begin with, so when it came time to make a "test pipe," it threw the entire system out of allignment.

Now I've gotta figure out how to make this project LOOK finished, because the trained Z enthusiast will be able to tell that something's up with this system.

Ehh...Time to crawl back under my car and ponder...
