munters Posted December 9, 2017 Share #193 Posted December 9, 2017 Do you know, if i change the rear msa muffler alone with your jdm 2pipe, what the difference is?(i have a Vibrant in the middle) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Dezart Posted December 9, 2017 Share #194 Posted December 9, 2017 Good news that you have a centre box. Firstly, you'd need to know if your existing pipe will slot into the muffler entry which is 67mm in diameter to accept a 63mm (2.5") diameter exhaust line. If your MSA pipe is, say, 50mm (2") in diameter, then you'd have to fit an adapter (50 - 63) such as this : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/63mm-to-50mm-Mild-Steel-Standard-Exhaust-Reducer-Connector-Pipe-Tube/111658142565?epid=2008211923&hash=item19ff580b65:g:GY4AAOSwstxVcqkw Supposing it's now on, the exhaust will sound deeper and with a clearer note. If you'd like it poetically, it'll sound more like a wild-cat than a woulded elk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munters Posted December 9, 2017 Share #195 Posted December 9, 2017 No, i have a 2.5 inch so this would fit. Now it does sound nicely deep but i used to have an ansa dual i can not use anymore (i dont want to loose to much power with my nice Engine) and i love the dual look...

Sean Dezart Posted December 9, 2017 Share #196 Posted December 9, 2017 Why do you think your Ansa lost you power ? A lonnnggg time ago, I had a twice-pipes system from MSA. No centre box of course and just the twin, long 'cherry-bomb' ''mufflers'' but it was so loud ! The Ansa isn't far from this design so both will be noisier than my JDM which has a single, large expansion box (380mm long and 150mm in diameter).

munters Posted December 10, 2017 Share #197 Posted December 10, 2017 The ansa system has a center muffler, 2 cherry bombs and is a small pipe. I took it off when I disassembled the car 30 years ago and putt it in my garage. When I restored the car 2014-2016 I did not try it, because I read everywhere I need a 2.5 inch system incl manifold. (my Engine is not OEM. I kept the Original Manifold but upgraded the system) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Dezart Posted December 10, 2017 Share #198 Posted December 10, 2017 I guess the advantage of the Ansa system is that it has TUV approval ? Perhaps we should continue this exchange via email as we are well off topic :-) ! seanz@wanadoo.fr Have a nice Sunday chaps ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason240z Posted December 10, 2017 Share #200 Posted December 10, 2017 sean, i've just measured the spare z3m coupe centre section i've got(cat section), pipe work is quite massive. What seems to be wrong is that the American importer for the system doesn't fully clarify what the system will fit and doesn't make reference to the newer system that offers a better fit and better performance V's the older system.

240260280 Posted December 12, 2017 Author Share #203 Posted December 12, 2017 I like this compact design: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Datsun-240Z-Abarth-endsilencer-NOS-2-5-exhaust-system/222734995837?fits=Model%3A240Z&hash=item33dc0a517d:g:JnYAAOSwc~laFu7r&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Dezart Posted December 12, 2017 Share #204 Posted December 12, 2017 Sorry but I don't ! No finesse in it - looks like it was made for a tractor and $200 more than mine, c'mon - who's being ripped off here ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
