In June of 2010, the 370Z uses a 3.7-liter V-6. However, there are many ways to get more power out of the classic Datsun Z cars. Install a free-flow exhaust.

A performance exhaust allows spent exhaust gasses to exit the motor more efficiently and the engine to make more power. Buy an off-the-shelf exhaust or have an exhaust shop install a performance exhaust for you. This usually takes special welding and cutting tools and can be difficult for the amateur mechanic. Replace the stock manifold with tubular headers. This is the next logical step after the installation of a free-flow exhaus
