Welcome to NICO!

As long as you have a 2 seater I highly recommend the HKS Hiper exhaust. It flows great, looks good, is top notch quality, and also very affordable. Check with our forum sponsors as I believe there are a couple who sell it and will be more than happy to give you a good price on one

Lets see some pictures of your Z.

Actually 2 seater or 2+2 would be the important question. Aftermarket exhausts for the Z32 are generally 2.5" or 3" with 3" being overkill for just about every application of a "street" car.

Both are important, but in most people's cases, they aren't 2+2 TT's.

Be sure that you get an x-pipe when you throw an exhaust on an NA car. The uneven firing order can make them sound hideous. With an X-Pipe they will sound more like an inline 6 by blending the tones. You don't want to have too large a diameter system on an NA, so be sure not to go over 2.5". Remember our exhausts are a true dual and correct backpressure is an issue to consider with an NA car.

I've heard the Specialty Z? exhaust is pretty good. HKS Hiper is great though
