Turbo Exhaust

I am curious to what type of exhaust everyone uses. Aftermarket of course. What brand, does it sound nice (Non lawn mower) sounding and where did you purchase it from. I am looking to heavily modify the car..want complete new exhaust system from downpipe back. Another question, is there someone who makes aftermarket downpipes for the 280zx?? I am thinking custom

I'm using an HKS catback, it came with the car. I think it's a 2.5" setup, not totally sure though. It's not that loud at all, sorta too quiet in my opinion. For the most part you'll have to do a custom setup for your exhaust as no company makes any turbo systems for the ZX's.

No one makes an aftermarket downpipe for the ZXT. You will have to have a custom one made. For the exhaust just make sure you use a straight thru muffler not a chambered one. Personally, I would go 3" all the way back. A turbo straight six with 3" exhaust will NOT sound like a lawn mower.

I use three inch mandrel bent downpipe from the turbo and three inch to the back. No cat. For the muffler I am using a three inch, straight through dynomax muffler. The muffler is their six inch round series... 19" long... it is a tight fit, but it fits in the stock location... VERY NICE SOUND
