Does the exhaust go all the way up to the cats? Hard to tell in the photos..

I like, single tube back.

Ordered mine Monday, Can't wait for it to get here!!

Thank you for all of the support. Hoping to see everyones pics once they get their installs done. Thanks for sharing black

no. it goes up to the b-pipe. so needless to say, if its gettin about the same gain as stillen, get a stillen b-pipe and thatll put you over the top.

on another note. from a cold start it has a gargle to it, but after you start driving it goes away.

Excuse my ignorance, but what is the B pipe? I thought this was a cat back exhaust per the quoted post.

This is not a catback. It's a Y-pipe back exhaust.

Crap, instant deal breaker, not catback = not interested. Also explains why it retains a nice sound.

Axlebacks (or however far this goes) are for looks and sound in my book.

Are you guys both talking about the same thing? In those pics, it looks to me like a bone stock Y-pipe, with the replacement starting behind the stock Y-pipe, at the crossmember. You can see all the factory heat-shielding, etc on the stock Y-pipe.

This is the image I'm talking about:

I agree with wstar, it appears the from photo above it retains the OEM y-pipe.

Yeah, there seems to be a discrepancy.. You say catback, but we're all seeing everything replaced but it looks like the OEM y-pipe is there... Can we get pictures of the system upclose including the Y-pipe that connects to the cats?

I called 5ZIGEN yesterday and they told me that it does NOT come with its own Y-pipe, therefore uses the stock one. It's not a catback exhaust - it's a Y-pipe back exhaust.

Does this mean we have to add YPBE to the acronym thread now?

Well, I don't mean to rain on their parade, but the primary problem areas in the stock exhaust are the cats and the Y-pipe. The stock Y-pipe is ridiculously restrictive for this engine. Not that I'm an exhaust engineer or anything, but it sure seems obvious having looked at mine up close after it came out of the car.

Sorry bout that ya'll the rep over at gozigen Japan stated it came with Ypipe. I will retract my statement.

5Zigen does make a Y-pipe for the 350.. I'd assume they will have one for the 370 as well soon enough.

Will this hinder preformance???

OK, We contacted 5Zigen and they are working with us as it was their unfortunate mistake and stating that the Y-Pipe is included standard with the exhaust.

The customers that have already ordered their exhaust can rest assured that Y-Pipes will be sent out no additional cost to them with their orders.

We here at Intense Strive to provide THE BEST Customer Service in the industry and we back out customers 110%.

Website has been updated and yes the Y-Pipes are available for sale separately.

black09z, can you please post some videos up. thanks.

Pete your the man!!

I hope 5Zigen makes it right with you guys after THEIR mistake. I look forward to receiving my proracer with y-pipe and intake. Keep up the great customer service. :tiphat:

I'm not too familiar with 5Zigen. What is their history/reputation like?

5Zigen has a great reputation, been around for years. I had their exhaust on my WRX a couple years ago and loved it. Thats part of the reason I ordered one for my 370z. Great gains and in my opinion the best sounding import exhaust there is.

Do we have any dyno graphs for this exhaust?

I don't think anyone in the U.S. has dynoed yet. There are only two or three in the U.S. so far I was told. Mine wont be here for about 2 weeks. I will try to dyno mine when I get it installed and I pass the break-in period and change my oil.

just so yall know, ill be getting my y-pipe from intense that they are sending me FREE OF CHARGE (now thats customer service) and ill keep yall updated when i do.

also i have a question for intense power. the ratings that you posted about the exhaust, (15hp on the japanese ecu) was that with or without the y-pipe?

from the pics I've seen on a different thread it looks like 5zigen has a aftermarket y-pipe on it. It is pics of them dynoing their white 370z

ok but i would like to know for sure

I will confirm the answer for you tomorrow. Great question actually. Ypipe available separately now too. Holla!

love the sound..

so i got my y-pipe (free of charge. thanks intense!) and the sound is about the same tone and everything just louder. but not bad, theres still barely any drone while cruising, if you got music playing you wont notice it. but under load and especially WOT it sounds GREAT. nice power increase also

Man I hope mine comes soon, Black when did you order yours??

I can't wait to get mine too. It was supposed to ship out the end of last week but I haven't heard anything yet to know for sure if it shipped.

Bump for a good Vendor !!!!!:hello:

i got my rear section in about a week, and my y-pipe in like a day. both sent different times

hey can u take some pics and vids. i already saw the videos on youtube, but i wanna see more! i'm saving up for this exhaust. thanks

i would but ive lost the charger for my camera, so i cant shoot any vids or take pics now. i gotta get it from fujifilm, no luck at best buy. sorry guys

Damn You Fujifilm!!!

somebody needs to get the full catback with high flows so i know how it sounds! i hate rasp so im too scared to be the guinea pig this time
