Why not, if there's space then an exhaust builder could easily add one.
Out of interest, what's the setup at the moment? I'm wondering whether to have a resonator on mine or not.

Oh wow yeah that's going to be loud. I love the S54 so much, really miss my M3. Perfect swap for the Z!

That really sounds nice, even louder than my track car with an L28 and triples.
One of my street cars had dual glass pack mufflers 18" i think.......it was still too loud for the street. I ended up with 5 glass pack mufflers and it was great for the street with a raspy high note at full throttle.
Finding a nice muffle that is quiet around town and gets the high RPM sound right is very hard to find IMO. I have not found one that I like after many years.
Good luck with the search and let us know what you end up with,.

I like the rasp! It sounds surprisingly like the e46 M3 that the engine is from. Or is it the S52 from the e36? If so, that's even more surprising!

Which one of Sean’s exhausts have you got? And are you running his headers?

I have the full system from the downpipe. Headers wouldn’t work with the 1JZ.
I can tell you that it sounds incredible. I wanted it to be as quiet as possible. I’m not a fan of raspy exhausts.
Bear in mind I have 2 turbos in the way of the exhaust gasses which naturally brings the volume down.

Looks fantastic. I think that must be the same as mine then which is the system from the downpipe back as I have the standard manifold. Can’t wait to get it on now - albeit I’ll be fitting it without the ease of those lifts!

Bit with the ease of having the engine it was originally designed to fit!
Scary.
The engine is the s50B32 from an E36 Evolution

Oh right! Amazing how similar it sounds to an e46 m3 with that exhaust on.

Yes you can but depending on how low you run the car, it may bottom out on very high speed bumps.
I have one in the centre of my car and fits fine.
