Corvette exhaust on a 350Z?

[Linh]

I have an Evo 8 and I know a good deal of basic information on cars. My friend told me that this other kid with a 350Z would smoke my car. I said only if he has aftermarket parts on it. My friend responded by saying that he was told that this kid has a corvette exhaust on his 350Z, and thinks that it is a ZR1 part. Anyways I told him that he was a dumbass for believing the kid. First of all why would you go out of your way to try and put an exhaust that was meant for another car, on their car. 2nd, I dont think it would fit.

What I want to know is it possible for that kid to do it? I want real answers, not a simple yes or no. Background info with a solid answer with reasoning will get the 10 points. Thank you

I am afrade to race 300+ hp EVO's all wheel drive traction may allow them to get a jump on me at the drag strip. If you allow a 350Z to out run you either your car has a week clutch or is not running right or it is a automatic.

use simple logic. a 350z is short(170 inches) a corvette is long (175 inches) although not a huge difference that's 5 inches of offset. plus a 350z has a v6 header and a corvette has a v8 header. also no 2 cars have exactly the same under body layout so he would have needed to bend it. two more things, why do that? and lastly a 350z with only an exhaust would not "smoke" an evo 8.

well if its true the guy probably means just the muffler or mufflers from the corvette not the whole system, but honestly a stock corvette muffler(s) wouldn't be a whole lot better than a stock 350Z muffler, im sure it is but not enough to want to buy an expensive Corvette muffler and then make it fit, could just get a couple aftermarket mufflers that are the same quality and cheaper than a stock muffler and probably flow a little better, also a better muffler alone isn't going to make that much of a difference performance wise to even make a big difference especially if you take a stock part off another car, so that part can be possible but its stupid and doesn't make sense if that guy knows anything about cars lol

ok a ZR1 part? highly doubt it, if you can somehow fit any Chevy Corvette ZR1 part onto a Nissan 350Z then its a part that wouldn't make a big difference but i still don't see fitting a Chevy V8 part on a Nissan 350Z working unless it was the whole drivetrain (engine, transmission and driveshaft, and yes i've seen a Corvette ZR1 LS9 engine in an import tuner i think it was a skyline but can't be 100% sure which honestly looked retarted, i say at least keep the same "make" in the car)

so all in all either he's BSing or thinks the knows cars when they don't, if the guy wanted a Corvette then get a Corvette rather its old or new, why get an import tuner and then put corvette parts on it

The simple answer is no. And here's why.

The two cars do not share any commonalities with their chassis, suspension, engine or exhaust.
For one, the exhaust of each car would have different bends, the catalytic converters and resonators would be in different places, as would the mufflers.

It wouldn't be very beneficial for someone to use a Corvette exhaust on a 350Z, anyways, as both stock exhausts are made to efficient for that particular motor.

As mentioned before, I think only the muffler could be the only part that could possibly be fitted. It would entail having to have the stock Nissan muffler removed and possibly having custom lengths of pipes made for the inlet and outlets.
