Wally Posted October 7, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 7, 2020 looking at buying the following https://zcardepot.com/products/header-exhaust-ceramic-coated-240z-260z-280z-70-76?variant=19276147654769 Any recommendations on the muffler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siteunseen Posted October 7, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I bought the MSA kit, cylinder head to rear bumper. It's $590 but we get 10% off with your czcc member number. I really like it too. Scroll down after the header and see the premium 2.5 exhaust. If you call them sometimes you get even better price or they'll tell you when it's gonna be on sale. https://www.thezstore.com/page/TZS/PROD/classic19d/15-6012CH Edited October 7, 2020 by siteunseen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7tooZ Posted October 7, 2020 Share #3 Posted October 7, 2020 Consider adding a resonator if you do. Some do not like the drone in their system. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share #4 Posted October 7, 2020 dang. just called them. on the MSA, wait time in the months.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wally Posted October 7, 2020 Author Share #5 Posted October 7, 2020 should the resonator go inside the 2.5" pipe or on the outer side? I would assume outer which means resonator needs be slightly bigger than 2.5? yes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gwri8 Posted October 7, 2020 Share #6 Posted October 7, 2020 (edited) I put a magnaflow muffler and a 2.5" pipe on my 280 along with a flow thru resonator. I'm happy with it. Edit to say that the resonator on mine is about halfway between the muffler and the connection to the header. Just where ever it will tuck in underneath.

My 280 needed a resonator. Installed by a local muffler shop for maybe $50. 240 screams bloody murder like a crotch rocket motorcycle. No resonator needed on the 2.4 for me.

Dave WM Posted October 8, 2020 Share #8 Posted October 8, 2020 If you have a stock system don't throw away the head pipe, hard to find for a 280z, someone looking to revert back may be in need of one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
w3wilkes Posted October 9, 2020 Share #9 Posted October 9, 2020 Was the MSA wait time for both the 3/2 and 6/1 ceramic coated headers? You ref'd the 3/2 from ZCarDepot. I did the 6/1 from MSA - MagnaFlow resonator in the tunnel and MagnaFlow muffler at the end. I then just had the exhaust place build the 2.5" rest of it. Not too aggressive for this old fart. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

w3wilkes Posted December 2, 2020 Share #11 Posted December 2, 2020 Sorry, but I don't. I am quite pleased with it though. You can hear it, but it's not too loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heyitsrama Posted December 2, 2020 Share #12 Posted December 2, 2020 I ordered one of these the blemish (a small welded tab) does not really make a difference to me, but $100 is $100. I like the way they look, should fit your 2.5" as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
