280z exhaust Q..

[lostmenoggin]

Can you use a catback from an S13 (240sx) on the 280z?

[evildky]

no

you can buy a catback for a 280Z for less than a catback for an S13, zcarparts.com

thanks. i was curious because i may pick up a 78 280z that id RB and was wondering what kind of exhaust options there were. plus i have a 3" HKS catback laying around.

well if you did an RB in an S30 the s30 cat back would remain the same, it's the piping between the down pipe and the cat back that would need to be made, nto a rbig deal, actually for the s30 chassis you cna buy header back exhaust and that woud put you right att he downpipe, so mating it to the DP should be pretty simple and require very little pipe

just so the research before deciding to RB the S30, the oilpan and pickup are issues, the JDm mounts position the engine too high, and the L28ET has nearly as much potential without the huge price tag
