Looking for headers & exhaust - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Hey, where can I purchase used/new headers and exhaust for my 03 350z for a good deal? What does everyone recommend buying? I want a deep sound without losing the 350z sound.

Help!

Thanks!

ebay...get the XO2 for cheap and just get test pipes, the amount of effort and very small gains of headers arent really worth it... IMO

JZ is right...there are minimal gains from headers. I run Megan long tubes on my drift car and do like them. They do add a bit of high end power which I like.

The X02 or whatever knockoff of the HKS you go with will do the job for sure, but remember the exhaust really adds no power. The cats are the bottleneck.

One issue you will have is sound...the HKS style exh and test pipes will be raspy as hell. Listen to as many as u can before you buy.

Good luck with it.

i have a quick question, do u guys know that if i add headers only and leave the exhaust stock if that would make the car louder?

Yes, a little bit. As long as you have stock cats, the car will be pretty quiet still.

if the cats are the bottleneck then wouldnt test pipes be the best upgrade?

Yessir, they are. The only issue with them is the rasp.
