Z1 Unveils New Touring Exhaust For 2023 Nissan Z

[Proto Z]

A few more goodies added.

I've never really done any structural/bracing modifications before. I guess I'm looking at these thinking they are probably not a bad investment - not overly expensive, and easily removable (ie, to return to 'stock' for whatever reason).

Couple of questions though:
1. Will they actually do anything? I know bracing does work, but the shape of these doesn't exactly scream rigid. Every curve is an opportunity for flex.
2. Assuming they do, is there any real negative to these? Like they aren't going to make the daily drive any more uncomfortable/stiff are they (ie, like new coilovers would)?

I’m not suspension expert, but these don’t “flex” in the way I think you’re imagining.

Sway bars are essentially torsional springs that twist along a horizontal axis when the vehicle turns rather than bend. They shouldn’t affect ride quality, as they work to prevent excessive body roll during cornering.

Gotta love when these part makers either do it themselves, or get some kid in college to make a video for school project and create an exhaust video and proceeds to put terrible free use music over top of it.

1. Sway bars will try to flatten the car out in terms of body roll and stability. It's best to add these with a good set of springs.

2. Only negative would be (if paired with springs) is clearance and slightly harsher ride due to stiffer springs.

Depending on stiffness of swaybar settings and springs rates on springs, the comfort tradeoff is worth it. For the most part...but height clearance is difficult at times.

exhaust looks very similar to the 370z. how about the coilovers?

This is what I want to see on the new Z

Nonresonated CF exhaust goodness!

FI should design a new dual, 10" carbon fiber, oval sport muffler set up specifically for the new Z. If they did, I'd drop the dime on that even before buying the car.

Z1 2023+ Nissan Z Cat-Back Single Exit Race Exhaust

The Z1 Race Cat-Back Single Exhaust for the 2023+ Nissan Z blends performance, visual appeal, and sound quality into one nicely-priced package. This exhaust is best suited for performance-minded enthusiasts that are looking for an exhaust with the highest power potential. We find it does exceptionally well on forced induction applications where the highest flowing exhaust is needed.

New sound clips of the Z1 touring exhaust. I think this is the 2nd best sounding aftermarket exhaust currently, behind HKS. However, Z1 is literally half the price at $1600-$1720 (depending on tip finish) vs HKS at $3400. Definitely a good price and I'm sure the fit and finish is solid.

 

[trackratZ]

Wonder if Z1 and/or HKS drone at midrange 3-4K, need interior sound clips. These two sound great on the outside. Still waiting on Ark Perf too.

Agreed
