I am knee deep in the middle of restoring my '71 Z and on a hunt for the center resonator for the stock exhaust system. As of now I have the JDM Car Parts downpipe and repop of the original muffler, but its the bits in between that I cannot find. 

Has anyone came across a close alternative to the Nichira resonator? I have looked across the internet for one that's close but they are either too wide or too long to fit in the trans tunnel. I have one with me that measures roughly 6" wide and 12" long on the canister. It's not useable unfortunately.  

The best packaging resonator I have found available is one that is round in canister shape, opposed to the oval shaped Nichira one. 

Here's what I'm after (pics taken from other CZC members): 

And here's the best packaging resonator I could find: 

Here's the car I am after the resonator for. Thanks

Keith! Hope all is well on your side. 

 

Link to the muffler:

For some reason the website checkout will not allow for a US based address. Shoot them an email and they'll send a Paypal invoice over directly. Took only a few business days to get to my door step. 

 

Now if I can get the section of pipe between this and the rear muffler bent up I'll have a complete setup.  

Chase, thanks for the link...I had this one on my radar:

I came across three different shops (including the one you sent the link from) in Australia selling a 3" x 5" x 12" oval canister muffler. I would bet that they are all selling the same one, under different names.  

 

The one I received had no part numbers stamped on it, and actually came in a Mangaflow box (PN on box was for a completely different muffler). Curious where these are being supplied from.
