1JZ S13, what is your exhaust setup? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey everyone!
Currently doing some research on different exhaust set ups for my 1JZ swapped S13. The PO had made a custom exhaust that was poorly executed imo. Hits on the driveshaft, all one piece from the turbo to the tailpipe, & way too loud.. essentially straight pipe.
I want to run a Future Fab downpipe on my stock turbo and pair an exhaust to that. My question is what are your set ups? I'm thinking I am going to have to fab my own set up. My goal is to not be very loud but still have some noise when stepping on it. Anyways, pics or explanations of what you guys run would be helpful

Its more or less going to be a custom setup unless you're down with the shit fitment of the CX Racing kit. It's not a complete system since you'll still have to figure out connection to the turbo outlet.

I also have a FF outlet and I just grabbed a nice Vibrant muffler, hangers, some V-bands, 3" piping, and some pre-bents. Not too much left but to piece it together.

Little different but i used my old HKS Hi-Power Cat Back Exhaust and flipped/modified the piece with the resonator to route over to passenger side and its super quiet but has a nice tone and doesn't get too loud when I'm on it

This is what I'm thinking I'll have to do. I've never made my own exhaust before but I'm thinking it might be fun...or a nightmare haha. Would love to just bolt something up but the cxracing kit doesn't look like something I'd want.

Wow I actually love this set up! Looks nice & simple. Do you have sound clips? I'd love to hear it. Also, how's the fitment of that sikky sway bar? Been thinking of grabbing one.

Sikky sway bar fits great - no issues there

Heres a quick clip of a burn out - the car is quiet as shit pulling out

I made a stainless 4-in turbo back You can see in my build thread. Taking your time and building it to your liking is the best way to go.
