not so much a fan of this exhaust but the lights look pretty good...too bad if i did that down here in houston id probably get pulled over...whatd u use to black them out

+1 on the lights I think that the greatest body part of the J30 is the front end though, But you proved me wrong and you made the whole car look good.

Any more pics of the entire car?

Whats it sound like too.

If you kept the stock "suitcase"/muffler that would be sweet.

ppastos wrote:Whats it sound like too.

I know what it sounds like. It sounds like crap. If you cut out the cats and just put straight pipes in there you get a tinny, metal rattling sound plus with only having that one muffler (if you can really call it that) I bet it drones like nothing else. Probably have to take a can of advil with you for trips longer than 15 minutes.

And, why have true dual exhaust on a car and then stifle all those gasses down into one pipe right before the exit?

If you don't have any other resonators other than that rear fart can, your car is too loud and probably very blatty sounding under acceleration.

Here's mine:

front cats replaced with straight thru resonators:

straight thru oval magnaflows:

rear view:

Magnaflow tips:



And here's what all that AND another set of resonators added behind the magnaflow mufflers to help quiet it down a little more sounds like:



I can't imagine how loud yours is if you just went straight pipe all the way back to that little muffler.

Oh, and I've got a crank pulley on mine already:

Whats the crank pulley do?

In the video is that a WOT run, if it sound nice like my Q45 almost.

Doesn't sound like a truck or a RICE RACER.

It's a VERY mellow yet mean sound at WOT. (Yes, that was a WOT run.) That's the point of my last post. Straight pipe with no cats sounds like crap imo.

Pulley is light weight and underdriven so less loss due to inertia and parasitic losses to accessories as they turn slightly slower.

ive got almost the exact same setup only with a few more mods and rims...lol...

scott did you get an HI waterpump pulley as well???what kind of pulley is that ASP or UR or what?

Do those pulley make any sort of difference.

None of the above. It's an eBay pulley! hehe I got the crank pulley only.

He was a great guy to deal with. I think it was ebay member turboracerx

The first one he sent me was slightly damaged in shipping and he quickly sent me another one. Yoda has the first one I got. You ever put that on Yoda?

ppastos wrote:Do those pulley make any sort of difference.

Makes the engine quicker to rev and is noticable in the lower gears, well, at least for a day or two then you get used to it. lol

Yea that's true we all take so much for granted.

YO Scott we each are unique wen it comes to our J30 i like how mine sounds and you like how yours sounds you have your style i got mine...and nice jo with the exhaust but u may wana change ur pipeing tat goes from the resonators to ur magna flow ovals tat old pipeing u got can realy take some power from the car and it wud sound a lil more deeper and meaner

YO kipflip02 you should come to dallas the guy who did my lights he can put a light coat for u can smoke them out in the back and front

No, that old piping is perfectly suited for the J. It's plently big (2.25") until you are pushing serious power and there is only one person that's been on this site that was doing that and he's not on here any more. (Twin turbos)

You might actaully be losing power with the 2.5" piping instead of 2.25" since you have a stock engine. (Intakes don't count for much)

nah i dont really want to smoke them at least not the fron b/c the front looks so great w/ my super white paint....i had the pearl painted over with a really bright white....only b/c i didnt have the extra 2K for the 3 stage pearl...i like it cuz its different...let me see if i can find some pics

O man if you were in the Q45 forum you would have been eaten alive for your terrible grammar.

O look at me I am turning in to Maxnix AKA Brian.

But seriously about those pulleys whats the difference in weight Scott?

I don't remember for sure but a bunch. The stocker felt like a lump of lead and the new one is machined aluminum and is very light.

Wow I definitely should look into it then.

Does your guy make them for Q45's, not that I doubt the time, money and craftsmanship that went into building the VH45DE, but I doubt mine is very light.

if im not mistaken the pulleys on the VH are already aluminum

O really YAY

Now THAT[\B] is an exhaust setup FTW!!!!! That's what I want!!! Darn thing reminds me of a muscle car!!!

Seriously, will I get the same results from Flowmaster mufflers or Borla?

Rapman, I'm not diggin' the exhaust (too ricey for my taste), but the taillights are awesome. 9/10 for your J.

You need to drive up here and check it out for yourself and if you like it BUY this one. I am ready to sell this car.

Where exactly is Brandon, Mississippi? & how much do you want for the J?

Brandon is just east of Jackson. It's pretty much right in the middle of the state. It took me 2 hours and 58 minutes to get to Mobile last week.

I need to get $2,990 for it. All stereo stuff stays if you want it, tires are almost brand new, no rust, very clean, runs great.

if he doesnt get it off you and you still have it when i get back from the rig next time out i might come get it...its kinda a ways away but i know how meticulous you are with it...

Either way, I'd rather someone on here buy it than some idiot that doesn't have a clue what it is or how to maintain it and is just buying it because it's cheap.

That's true buying a car from NICO is like Gods gift because there is only OEM parts and it has been taken care of meticulously, But there are still some who buy NICO cars and then neglect them. Or the few people who join NICO then go away because they don't believe in us.

Hallowed is NICO.

How much did that whole exhaust setup cost?

IT SOUNDS GREAT!

I think I may need to do that.

Do you have additional pics of the resonators after the mufflers as well?

Oh, & how many miles on your J?

J30inthe sun wrote:How much did that whole exhaust setup cost?

Hard to say as I pieced it together little by little. If you did it all at once, it'd probably cost you about $400 - $500 total.

J30inthe sun wrote:IT SOUNDS GREAT!

Thanks!

J30inthe sun wrote:I think I may need to do that.

Go for it!

J30inthe sun wrote:Do you have additional pics of the resonators after the mufflers as well?

No other pictures but it's the exact same resonator as the ones I replaced the cats with. They are just after the Magnaflows.

J30inthe sun wrote:Oh, & how many miles on your J?

204k miles. That video was taken the day she rolled 200k.

ppastos wrote:+1 on the lights I think that the greatest body part of the J30 is the front end though, But you proved me wrong and you made the whole car look good.

I always thought that Nissan took their styling risks/did right on the rear and then went very conservative/conventional on the front.
