Okay, the 350z/G35/FX all have the same style muffler, just different inlets. The muffler is 24x13in. So I know it will fit. If I get this one, I would get a 18x4in resonator.
Should I get that muffler or teh Dynomax Super Turbo muffler with dual outlets? If I get that one, it will be an 22x4in resonator.

I don't know which combo to get. I want it to be VERY quiet, but I want it to sound good. I have a ypipe so I know aftermarket is exhaust is gonna be louder then stock.


What should I do?

Or should I just use a regular Dynomax Super Turbo muffler with one out?

That's what I used but with 2 resonators.One whrere the cat would be and the other after that before the 90 before the axle.

It sounds nice and quiet, though a bit louder than stock. I had it w/o resonators before, and yes, you WILL definately want those resonators on there b/c w/o them, it sounds horrible.

Kev, I don't think the 350Z muffler will work for you because of where the inlets and outlets are.

(if you want it, I'll make you a good price on it. customer removed it after just 1000 miles on the car for a Stillen exhaust and asked me to sell it for him. It's been sitting in my back yard for about 6 months now.)

Couldn't I just cut the outs and ins off the muffler and then run my pipes so it looks like this

thats the only feasable way to do it without smashing in the spare tire area

i had brainstormed this awhile back and the way the G35 and Z muffler (and most of the flowmasters) are set up is perfect..

look at my drawing and compare with the 1st pic matt posted youll see what i mean

i probably woulve had this done on mine already but i kinda ran out of and went into negative money with my motor job

Matt, do you think it will work? How big is the resonator on the Z?



Anyone else? Should I even go for hte dual setup?

I think you should try the 350z muffler. Would be nice to see something different. Also I would like to see how it sounds on a 3.0.

unfortunately, I don't think the 350 muffler will fit under there, but I'd have to see the car and the muffler again to see... tomorrow I'll try to take some meausrements for you, but I'll warn you- these mufflers are HUGE!

It would be great if you could getthe measurments for me.

For some reason I was thinking Pearlwhite2000 (I think his name is that) had 2 evos for duals. That is awesome though. I've never looked at this cardomain. Thanks Matt.

Sorry, don't mean to seem so eager, but you have the measurements yet?

Sorry.. forgot to get them the other day...

here's a crappy drawing I did in about 30 seconds...
www.mattblehm.com/stuff/muffler.jpg

all piping on it is 2.5" the little wedge on the front of the muffler is removeable and not included in those measurements. it sticks out another 5-6" in front of the muffler.

let me know if that answers the stuff you need.

Do you think I can cut off the Inlet and outlets close to the muffler and then weld on new pipes so I can use it properly?

You have any roon inbetween the spare tire well and the rear of the bumper. The only way I see this working is if you mount the muffler the same way as it's in the Z but instead of the muffler being parallel to the ground, mount it perpendicular to the ground. Ie.. maybe fitting it inbetween the tire well and the bumber

I can't mount in stock location and cut ends off hte muffler?

I suppose. But won't you have one pipe pointing towards the front of the car? You will have to extend that one quite a bit. If there is any room to do so.

I want to do it like this

http://memimage.cardomain.net/member...11_69_full.jpg

I still have this muffler if you wanna try it....it is heavy though so shipping would probably be high

Well I don't want to spend money and find out I can't cut the ends off and run hte pipes like I want. So I will have to see what everyone says.

which is exactly the way i showed in the pic i drew... its the only practical way to do it without modifying the spare tire area

since the piping shoots out the muffler and bends immediately you would have to chop off all 3 pipes about 1-2" away from the muffler and weld on new piping from there

But, it won't daamge the muffler by cutting hte ends off and running my own pipes like that will it?
