supra or 300zx

[thakiller009]

which would you rather have a 1990 supra targa top all stock or a 300zx with a exhaust 1994 model and which do you think would win in a racethe supra is stock and the 300zx has a exhaust thats all everybody that drove my car said i would win and i own the supra

[dunewarz]

If the 300zx is non turbo I'm pretty sure it'll lose. The exhaust really doesn't help much. 300zx and Supra are pretty much equal in power and speed. I've never seen two race before so not sure. You can go check on youtube.

free up the exhaust on the supra go 3" turbo back and see the difference that makes. the stock exhaust is extremely restrictive.

whats that mean a new exhaust all the way

[justin1642]

it means get a downpipe and cat back or downpipe and go to an exhaust shop and have them bend some pipe to finish the exhaust if you want a cheap way. you can use a high flow cat or test pipe (just a straight through pipe) if you don't mind not having a cat. once you free up the exhaust you'll notice a power increase and faster spool.

how much would that cost

[justin1642]

that depends on how much your willing to spend. the downpipe can range from $100 (ebay) to $300+ including the turbo elbow (hooks on the back of the turbo connecting to the downpipe) and catbacks are $400+ and the exhaust shop could cost $100 - $200 for the pipes the test pipe $50-$100 and a muffler with a 3" inlet $100.

Cheap
downpipe $100
turbo elbow $100
muffler $100
test pipe $50-100
exhaust shop pipes $100-200
Total $450-$600 roughly

Right Way
downpipe $300
catback $450
test pipe $100
Total $850 roughly

do some research and figure out what you want out of your car.

i want it to be done the right way and would i still need the turbo elbo or not my is not turbo but later on when engine blows getting 7mgte turbo

[justin1642]

my bad i assumed you were turbo ( i should've asked) no you won't need a turbo elbow then. i'm not sure if its still called a downpipe if its n/a cuz it connects to the exhaust manifold not turbo so i'm not sure. my first supra was n/a and all i did to that was cut the cat off put in a test pipe and get a muffler and called it good. can't remember if n/a exhaust is 2" or 2.5"? i wouldn't worry about the exhaust then until you go turbo.

oh k thxs bout that my car has 218000 miles so this summer going to gat a turbo motor and still you think supra would win in a race vs 300zx
