I found someone local to me that is parting out a wrecked coupe... what would be a hella good price for me to offer on the mid-pipe? provided I am the one that might have to go remove it too...

I'm thinking $30? And offer to be the one that does the work...

If I make an offer, its gonna be for the front springs also, according to the sticky, that will lower the front 0.5" and right now, it seems about that much high on our 03 sedan... I might just say $50 for the springs and midpipe...

What do y'all think?

 

yes... drive around the city i dont really notice it. on the HIGHWAY at 55 oh hell yea i hear that annoying drone. WOT yea its decent for what i paid for the pipe but far from sex

maybe its because i've been around fart cans and higher end exhausts more then the average guy on here. as long as i'm not stuck at the exact same speed i think its decent.

 

^ Start low and work your way up .

I wouldn't go past $120 for both middy/springs, tho, but that's just me.

 

$120 my a$$...

If they are just parting this out, and want to sell stuff off it quick, they won't be waiting for me to get to $120 for all of it.

I emailed about the pipe and front springs only to ask what they would want for them... If they say anything over $30 for either, I'll just pass. These aren't "needs" for me, they are just wants...

 

considering the front springs are hard to take off i would say if you perform the work 50 bucks most for springs would be decent.. but remember it was a wrecked car.. just a thought. but i would not do coupes, the drop isntthat much, go with 350z springs the best bang for the buck.

as far as the middy, start low 30 bucks, dont pay more than 50-60 for it.

 

Paired with an HKS, its a great combo, sounds good at any RPM range IMO. You shouldnt pay more than 30-40 for the middy.

 

are these a straight bolt on? or do I have to do some welding

 

They don't require any welding but the resonator is smaller so the brackets won't reach and u may need to remove a part so u won't hear any noise

 

post in the coupe section and ask the mods to leave it for a few days and hopefully someone has one laying around! and they'll answer quick!
ts a great mod, i love the way my car sounds post coupe middy

 

Last option is right.
I just went to a meet, overheard one of the coupe guys saying he was going to do an exhaust soon, and chimed in with "I have dibs on your stock mid-pipe"
He had no idea they were useful to sedan guys.
Left my contact info with him, and bought his middy after he got his exhaust done.

Bolt on. You'll need to bend the heat shield on the drive shaft up just a bit so it doesn't rattle against the pipe, but not so much that it hits the drive shaft (like I did )

Also, the coupe Midpipe weighs 10lb compared to the 03/04 sedan midpipe which weighs 35LB!!!!

 

thanks for the response. How about a 350z midpipe? My buddy has one of those laying around. My guess is that it might be shorter

 

^It needs to be extended about 6"

 

I found mine on craigslist.com also.
