Replacing Exhaust system on my 1972 240z

[siteunseen]

The only issue I had was grinding some material off the transmission where the header was rubbing.  That was on my 280 though.  I haven't got to the 240 yet but I laid it all out like Jarvo did above and it looked to be identical to the stock exhaust.  I sure hope it fits like it's supposed to.

I Heard a clip on YouTube of the MSA Premium exhaust for stock manifold. Nice sound! If i decide to get something more pricey and fully stainless Steel what will be the recommendation for same stock 1972 manifold? Borla or Magnaflow? What model?

Here is the Fugitsubo Legalis R exhaust system plus the WHP stainless downpipe for the stock 240z manifold.

I am also leaning toward the MSA.  I want quiet but I don't want to sacrifice performance.  I am fine with a little more noise than the stock muffler.  I didn't think the MSA was very loud but the youtube clip sounded like it was.

 

I remember replacing the muffler on my '73 with a stock one.  I was very surprised how much the stock muffler impacted performance.

 

Regarding the MSA, I am a little concerned about how the big oval muffler looks tucked under the car compared to the small, round one from the factory.  Just my personal preference.

Classiczcar Vendors, stainless steel, beautiful workmanship, very nice price considering the quality-----

 

I'm stock, but if I were in the market for exhaust  this would be my first choice for sure. Just saying you should give this a look! (a quick search of the forum will yield video clips with sound)

The off the shelf systems are nice but you can have a custom stainless steel Exhaust from the header back made for less. I paid $350 for mine and it's a quiet when I'm puttering around and then a loud sporty roar at wide open throttle. And best of all it was made to fit my car exactly

Well if anyone knows of a better option than the MSA Premium exhaust for stock manifold but stainless Steel, please let me know:. I want a real sporty sound producing low tones.

Stainless Options.

 

 

If you search 240z MSA Premium Exhaust  on youtube, my video's should show up.   Idle video, and one booting it up a mountain.   Orange 240z.
