October 7, 20204 yr comment_607378 I bought the MSA kit, cylinder head to rear bumper. It's $590 but we get 10% off with your czcc member number. I really like it too. Scroll down after the header and see the premium 2.5 exhaust. If you call them sometimes you get even better price or they'll tell you when it's gonna be on sale. https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic19d/15-6012CH Edited October 7, 20204 yr by siteunseen Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64527-muffler/#findComment-607378 Share on other sites More sharing options...
October 7, 20204 yr comment_607382 Consider adding a resonator if you do. Some do not like the drone in their system. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64527-muffler/#findComment-607382 Share on other sites More sharing options...

October 7, 20204 yr Author comment_607386 should the resonator go inside the 2.5" pipe or on the outer side? I would assume outer which means resonator needs be slightly bigger than 2.5? yes?

October 7, 20204 yr comment_607389 I put a magnaflow muffler and a 2.5" pipe on my 280 along with a flow thru resonator. I'm happy with it. Edit to say that the resonator on mine is about halfway between the muffler and the connection to the header. Just where ever it will tuck in underneath.

Installed by a local muffler shop for maybe $50. 240 screams bloody murder like a crotch rocket motorcycle. No resonator needed on the 2.4 for me.

October 8, 20204 yr comment_607429 If you have a stock system don't throw away the head pipe, hard to find for a 280z, someone looking to revert back may be in need of one.

October 9, 20204 yr comment_607514 Was the MSA wait time for both the 3/2 and 6/1 ceramic coated headers? You ref'd the 3/2 from ZCarDepot. I did the 6/1 from MSA - MagnaFlow resonator in the tunnel and MagnaFlow muffler at the end. I then just had the exhaust place build the 2.5" rest of it. Not too aggressive for this old fart.

I don't suppose you have a recording of what it sounds like, I have the 6-1 and was considering MagnaFlow.

December 2, 20204 yr comment_611673 Sorry, but I don't. I am quite pleased with it though. You can hear it, but it's not too loud. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64527-muffler/#findComment-611673 Share on other sites More sharing options...
December 2, 20204 yr comment_611678 I ordered one of these the blemish (a small welded tab) does not really make a difference to me, but $100 is $100. I like the way they look, should fit your 2.5" as well. Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/64527-muffler/#findComment-611678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
