Im gonna put a 350z straight pipes on my sc300. Has anybody else done this before? I know its pretty simple im just wondering how it would sound.

scENFORCER

My immediate reaction to this is "why"?
There's a million threads about exhaust options for sc300's, options that give you the best sound/power/whatever with what mods you've done to the engine (yes even straight pipes).
I doubt anyone's attached 350z pipes to an SC, and that's probably because it won't yield you any results since the two engines are completely different.

I'm not too sure why u are going this route

The VQ and 2JZ are fundamentally too different to share exhaust parts.
I can't even conceptually imagine how you plan to accomplish this.




This thread hurts my brain.

^ this.
And if you really want a downpipe to delete the cat just go buy a header that has a downpipe on it or have somebody you know make a downpipe. It'll be a whole lot easier than trying to get a 350z dp to fit.

^^^Plenty of SC exhaust pics and videos there. 350z straight pipes arent anything special compared to any other straight pipe, and with their cost and then the cost of fabrication to make them fit, you could probably get a full cat back single exhaust for a Supra, or SC300/400 dual axle backs and have a FAR better sound than the straight pipes.

I just have them laying around. I wanted to do this and see the result. And see if it would sound good or not. I know that the engines are different my brother has an 03 350z ive helped him work on it. He gave me his old straight pipes cause he got stock ones and deleted the cats and with the stock exhaust he can plug in where the cats used to be so his check engine light wouldnt turn on. It was just a question calm down y'all

No one is getting to the point to need to be told to calm down, but you only posted 10% of the question.

If you already have the pipes, the only way to see how its going to sound is to put them on. Now are these test pipes, or muffler deletes? Cause both have been done on both 300's and 400's and video's posted of both in the link I posted.

chillchewy

Yeah its straight pipes with muffler deletes. I will look into thanks.

man this page has become only...

STOP NO!!! IT'S DIFFERENT!!!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!! WHY!!!! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU DO THAT!!!!!! THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO DO SOMETHING!!!!!!!!

i say go for it, can't wait to hear the result.

scENFORCER

If anything people telling him not to go this route is saving him a headache. I would hope people would tell me the same if I was doing something dumb.

oldManTan

but has anyone done it? i don't think so, they're just internet warriors

chillchewy

I was looking around and still couldnt really find anyone thats done it. I was just going this route cause im putting a 350z 6speed so why not use 350z straight pipes aswell. It was just a thought. But im still gonna do it anyway. People doubted that the 1.5jzge wouldnt work and look at that. People build those all the time

it can definately be done they are just saying it might not be worth the hassle. most prefer to just use the standard midpipes/downpipes and have a custom rear section made with the mufflers they want.
If you know or are willing to pay someone who can weld/modify them then why not give it a try and let us know how it works. might even sound really good no way to tell until someone does it.

chillchewy

Thats what im saying. Its always good to try something different. If you get something good out of it thats good and if you dont you learn something new. Thanks for everybodys opinion
