i love it, but only when i feel like putting up with it. thats why you get a cutout.
my roomates got a pair on his gto that i wish he would use more often. but that car is seriously ear threateningly loud. weve taken the catback off my friends s2k a couple times during maintenance. that thing sounds pretty sweet. pretty much like an indy car

agreed. quite often, the typical tuner advice does not apply to the z32. people often fail to realize how complex these cars are.

Yeah my friend seems to be off about alot of stuff. My other friends with turbo cars are for the most part jackasses. So I pretty much have the one with bad advice to help me. Now I have you guys!

Also cutoffs would be sick!

You can run straightpipes

Ive driven in a Z that had straight pipe exhaust all the way back, no cats, no resonator, no mufflers, and it still sounded relatively quiet, you have to remember the Turbos on this car muffle the sound a LOT. It did still get kinda loud around 2400-2600RPM which is like 55mph on the highway. Yes some states still have a 55 limit on the highway.

i had a mercedes 300sd once and did an open 3in pipe right out of the turbo and by tecnicality it was legal since a turbo is a muffling device the car didnt need a muffler.

but thats a whole different thing
