'72 240z Muffler recommendations?

Arne, I also have been looking at available parts to build the stacked tip exhaust, but was missing the dual out separation spec on the Magnaflow 11148, thanks for sharing.

I believe the last company to offer this bolt on arrangement for a Z was Monza (Pacesetter) which no longer makes it, they do however still sell the slash cut resonator tips (see link) in various sizes, that as far as I can see in the pics, can be cut to length and welded on the Magnaflow 11148.

Lots of sources for resonated tips. Since I don't want yellow on my red car, I've been looking at either Hooker or Hedman tips instead.

We talked about the lack of period exhausts a while back - http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?t=34920

Arne,

I appreciate your research on this subject. In lieu of finding a correct period exhaust, I also thought think it should be entirely possible to cobble together at least a period-looking (and sounding hopefully...) muffler by using a dual-outlet unit and slash-cut resonated tips. I'm particularly interested in what you end up with because I'd also like to use a Magnaflow muffler and use non-yellow tips for my non-yellow car...

Thanks again! :classic:

I'll be getting back to the exhaust as soon as I get the long-running Bolder Tint deal off my plate. Next month, maybe?

Just to clarify, here's my current plan. I will either re-use my current (modified) stock downpipe, or possibly buy one of the MSA replacements as shipped with their flanged system. Either way I'll start from there with a flange joint to a 2 1/4" pipe with an 18" glass-packed resonator in the transmission tunnel. Another flange joint near the rear crossmember, and into the 'S' pipe which will connect to the dual outlet Magnaflow (#11148). Will probably drive it for a week or two with temporary tips until the glass settles a bit, then decide on either resonated or plain angle-cut tips, depending on the sound and noise level. Pipe will probably be aluminized and with normal (not mandrel) bends.

Arne, awesome idea. I'm going to follow your lead and try this out. Most likely i'm going to run with my stock 77 280z piping (which is in great shape) and simply have a shop weld on the magnaflow 11148.

That is how I had mine exept that I used a turbo builet muffler and at the end I used the pace setter pipes, but the 280z pipes, I wish they would make just the pipes for the 240Z.
