Decided to get the muffler delete .

[Mugzilla]

This is timely. I just got my new 24 Z delivered and the first thing I do is crank it up -- and get immediately disappointed. The manual Z is way, way, way too quiet. It reminded me of the last rental car I had...which I can't even remember, because it was so non-descript.

Gotta solve this asap somehow - whether it's replacing the manual silencer with the factory AT axel-back or this solution

When my Stillen Street series exhaust arrives. If it is too quiet, I'm slapping two of these in.

New member here. I appreciate all the information I was able to find on the forum before pulling the trigger. Anyway ....

Just bought a new 2024 Performance 6-speed. Beautiful car, and plenty powerful. My biggest gripe is the sound, or lack thereof. Not looking for anything obnoxious. Just looking for recommendations to mildly upgrade the sound without spending a lot or voiding the factory warranty. Also wondering how tricky the installation is and whether it's reversible.

BTW, my second-biggest gripe is the lightness of the steering, especially at low speeds. I thought that would be addressed by driving in Sport mode. But then I discovered that Sport mode isn't offered in manual-transmission cars. (What's that all about?) Just curious if there's a workaround that allows you to add some weight to the steering.

Thanks!

Hi Socman,
Yeah I know what you mean about the light steering thing. I've had my Z for over a year now and the floaty steering bugged me for ages. Over here in Aus we have had a major outbreak of pothole disease with local tyre shops struggling to keep up with repairs. I decided to get immunised and got a spare wheel/tyre jack etc to avoid being left on the side of the road. Here's the interesting bit which I cannot explain... Floatsy steering has completely gone. It sounds counter-intuitiuve to put extra weight in the back but i kid you not! I am so much happier with the drive now. I no longer feel like I have to have both hands on the wheel. As an extra bonus, the bass also seems better now with the big polysterene underfloor packing gone and the subwoofer tucked neatly inside the wheel. Killed two birds with one stone!

How interesting!
I would definitely add that set up. I think it's the smart thing to do.

That's really bizarre! I didn't even realize a full-size spare will fit in the car. And are you talking about a serious floor jack as well? Sounds crazy. But if it works ....

Ordering today! I can’t make up my mind-Chrome or Burnt? Seems like the Z spits a lot of soot. Will be tough to keep either clean.

Haha, I know right

You will love the quality and look and mostly the sound. It's like the car comes alive after being muted. It's like watching a Stars Wars movie at IMAX muted .

Installed mine this afternoon. Wow... love love love it. My 19 year old son took it for a spin so I could hear it from a distance.
Question: did you feel that you lost some torque? or that it takes longer for the engine to do what it used to a lower rpms?
I noticed that once I put it in sport mode, the car really came alive even better.
Thanks for the info.

Awesome! Plus you dropped weight! To me its meaner and whips my neck.

Hey, how are you liking the muffler delete? Debating doing this myself. Assuming you have an auto with the mid pipe resonators, how much louder is it than factory with the Muffler delete?

I loved it. But now I changed it for a Nismo. Been thinking about doing the same thing to this one...

Just ordered one (burnt tip).

I'd like to hear this in person, let's meet up after your install. I should have my Stillen catback installed by then and may contemplate on ordering the competition replacement pipes if still too muted.
