Not that big of a fan of the exhaust, probably because I like the classic Z to like a classic Z. But hey a free exhaust is a free exhaust.

lol, it would be nice of the muffler fit under the car and the pipe didn't hang so much, if you're happy with it I'm happy for you

thanks and we did the muffler that way...its just stuff we've seen with the "JDM" craze and i thought it looked good with this particular muffler

oh and its really not as low as it looks...about 4 inches maybe clearance

wow that sound nice and to tell you the truth, the muffler looks good. on my z i just used a pipe that extended 9 inches from the frame of the car. it sounds good, lots of rasp, and the exhaust smell is reduced. ill take a pic later to show you...

here ya go, just bolt them to the fender for that classic ricer lookhttp://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/CTGY/OM04

I thought this was a cool look when no one was doing it, noy half the toyotas and datsuns run then, it's just not cool any more

and I've never been much on "JDM" style, they come up withsome hideous crap, and USM is as popular there so do what you like
