Hello all,

I have the Twice Pipes and a MSA 6 into 1 on my 73 240Z. It has a L28 of unknown specs in it (im pretty sure its stock though) but it sounds awesome a bit like the old E/D type Jags did. What ever you do though, if they offer anything other than standard steel or coatings on it, get them asd both my header and exhaust look terrible and they are only a few years old.

I was wondering about the rust mine are still in the box and already have light rust on them. Is there anything you can put on them to protect them? Can you powder coat the pipes?

I would imagine you could powder coat the back half of the pipe but far as

the chrome goes I guess you would have to rechrome it.

From what I've seen on some pipes rock chips will have their way regardless

when it comes to the chrome

I would get the entire system ceramic coated, but that's just me XP

rust protection and as far as I know, does a good job of protecting against chips and stuff.

The chrome on mine is fine but the black part is not what I would call rusted but it does have some oxidation. So powder coat would work then? I dont know much about ceramic coating is it a similar process? Does anyone know about what that might cost? Thanks Chris

FWIW...

I sent a header in to Jet-Hot coatings just a couple weeks ago, it should be back any day now with any luck. It's a metal/ceramic coating process that is pricey but it sure looks good and is guaranteed. Check out their website: http://www.jet-hot.com/ Customer service is excellent and turn around time was quick.. only about a week between when they got the part and when they shipped it back out to me.

It cost me about $300 to have a 6-into-2 header coated with the sterling finish coating. They will coat anything you send them including intake manifolds, etc. I was going to send along a collector for the header and they would have charged me $15 per foot of tubing. Ultimately I decided not to do that right now. The good thing is they will accept those nasty rusted headers and prep them up right for the coating, they don't have to be new. Mine weren't new but they weren't nasty rusty either.

Are you talking about coating your entire exhaust system? That would be sweet and you'd likely never need to replace it either. Costly though.. Whew!!

Hope this helps...

Tom.

We just swapped an L28 into The Wingnut's 260Z, and installed the twicepipe system. It's QUITE loud. Here's a video clip

Sounds cool, Im building a l28 motor at the moment with stage 4 cam and triple dellorto's........thinking strongly about getting this exhaust system..........does the back box mount vertically or horizontal?......like is one pipe over the other or side by side?

I just got my headers and twicepipe system. I hope to install it some time this month. I have the engine and trans out of the car. Installing new bearings in the engine and swaping the trans for a 5 speed. I am also installing a R200 diff. Hope this will make the car more driveable and get a little better gas milage.
