Labree, Specialty Z, HKS Hi-power, Megan Racing, all make awesome sounding exhausts. Look for one with a resonated H-pipe so its not raspy. I found a cheap exhaust on ebay for $180 with resonated H-pipe that sounds pretty damn good. Doesnt look half bad, its got the melon launcher tips, though the quad tips are my personal favorite, I'll eventually get around to welding some nice quad tips on mine.
Youtube is a good place to start though, who doesnt love listening to Zs? :P


Heres a really poor video of what it sounds like, apologies for the poor sound quality, its a cheap kodak camera.

^ I fully agree with Ion, I actually bought almost the identical exhaust off of ebay too and just got it installed this week. Sounds awesome and it was surprisingly good quality and included all the gaskets + grade 8 bolts/nuts

[itsjoel_dude]

Sweet thanks guys :P is 2.5 or 3 inch ?

[IonZ32]

Yeah not too bad eh!
And its 2.5in

Can't go wrong with Specialty Z. My next option would have been the HKS Hi-Power. :-)

Hey do you remember exactly what it was called? Im about to buy an exhaust thats 189 bucks on ebay by a company named racing gear. Is it the same one? If so, is it good?

[IonZ32]

Yeah, looks like its the same one! I'm very pleased with mine, sounds excellent, took a little modification to fit correctly to the cats, but wasnt difficult. I have a thread on it, search "ebay exhaust" and it should come up

Please, no melon luncher on a Z! Since I'm actually gonna go with Specialty Z when I change my cat-back next year and therefore spend around 1k in the process (H-Pipe, Stainless steel,resonated, 2.25''), I'm curious about that 189$ ebay stuff. Are the top brands (Specialty Z, Labree, B&B) that overpriced and overhyped or a 189$ ebay cat-back is just well...a 189$ ebay cat-back exhaust? The question my seem a bit sarcastic but I'm really asking myself now.
Are we talking about that exhaust?

You can see just from the picture the quality on the ebay exhaust it is what you would expect from a $189 dollar exhaust, from the pic posted by ionz32 you can see it doesn't fit the greatest. With the top names like SZ or B&B your paying a premium partly for the name but also getting top quality both in craftsmanship and material and a item you know will fit perfectly. In the end is it worth it or not is up to you.

Good, that's what I thought! Only the best for the Z!

[IonZ32]

Oh yeah, its not comparable to anything made by Specialty Z, Labree, etc, those are in their own league. Its just a cheap exhaust that happened to be not too shabby and required a little modification. Like Z-owned said, its a $189 exhaust, dont expect the best. I had incredibly low expectations with it, so thats probably why I was pleased with it.
I'll still be picking up a Labree Exhaust down the line though
