Would this muffler fit under the rear bumper of the FC? LMK. Thanks.

Sorry. Not even close. It would definitely interfere with the spare tire well and probably the fuel tank as well. Looks like it may fit the RX8, though.

Not to mention the fact that the outlets wouldn't match up with the bumper...but hey...who's picky?

That reminds me of the Newer Skyline backbox. What's it from, or is it one of those things they put on Neons and the sort? But yes...no way in hell would it fit...have you looked at the rear of your FC ?

Dang, I got lazy and didn't look. That's why there's this forum. LOL j/k

Actually that's from the new 350Z and has ID of 2.75". If any of you guys have hread the new 350Z or G35, they sound pretty damn sweet. I was just thinking about running this and getting a exhaust cutout after DP.

Probably, but for $50, this OEM muffler will be made of far better quality than any aftermarket. So I thought I'd give it a try.

This was a really popular configuration for 80's and early 90's cars in general.

I was planning to install a cutout pipe after the DP when I wanna go fast.

Yeah, the 350Z and G35 coupe sound awesome. Hook it up to a rotary however, and you'll just get the same wwwaaaa waaaa sound.

I must agree, the G35 sounds awesome. I love the sound of that car. Not loud but you can hear the power.

LMAO!
Why would you ever put that exaust anywhere near an FC!?!
I mean look at that then look at what most of us have for exaust systems like the N1 or RB or the JIC. There all a hell of a lot straighter than that set up.
That looks exactly like the 350 exaust or the rx8's exaust. There designed with quiet and emissions in mind. But there is no way your going to be able to get that to stay under the car w/out some serious modifications.
I wouldent reccomned that setup, put your money into a more efficiant setup
