if it was me going boost I would just have 3" straight pipes. turbos are natural mufflers in the system.........and I like my car sounding mean and raw. hence why I have straight pipes even without boost lol

Oh i would love to have a loud z but i do have to watch out for the po po's here.
I do not have intakes.
Just the motordyne manifold And Exhaust, Will be receiving the ART on Sunday.
Was thinking a tune after that.
I only went for the Akropovic because it was more on the silent side. However i did not find the sound loud enough so went ahead and bought the ART pipes lol. which again fall on the silent side . Well ill probably change the Rear end now that you mentioned to have a better flow.

Any suggestions on a Rear part of the exhaust ?

I could be wrong but wouldn't those ART pipes blow with more heat from the twin turbo since they are resonated? Thats why everybody use either straight down pipes or test pipes

I am only learning.
Fastest way to learn. GO FI and learn haha
so no ART pipes on Turbo application ?

Would i be able to keep the akrapovic CBE and replace only the rear part ?
or is it recommended to replace the entire thing ?

yea unless you work on transmissions everyday then i don't think this is a DIY project lol i would never dream to crack open a tranny case and go to work myself.

Edit - Upgraded AT

level10 out of NJ.

its like 3200 for a 1000hp tranny and that's sending them yours to upgrade.

think its 4200 for a 100% new tranny sent to you.

You can keep the CBE. Just make sure to go either straight down pipes or test pipes no resonators in that area cause is close to the engine and overtime the resonators will blow and you're have an unnecessary headache. And yes 3" is best for more power but 2.5" is find.

there's 2 guys on here who have got their tranny for the 370. you just call and tell them and they make it. i think the listing is general.

the one guy is in England running it with a greddy kit and loves it.

370z 7AT problems with GReddy TwinTurbo tune - what to do?

I guess I should have said that wasn't our 7AT, I linked to show it's not a DIY thing to do.

eh ill sell the ART before getting the turbo

I have been quoted 3.5k from Level 10 for rebuilding the transmission which includes the core.
If i do get the parts from US shipped to me, What kind of umm experience would be necessary to 'upgrade' it ?
Or do you recommend me to ship core, Upgrade and ship back ?

I would go with either AAM or FI.
doesnt matter as long as i get to 500 whp with reliability.

Honestly, for the price (minus shipping) I would just ship your transmission to them.
Think of the shipping cost as insurance that if a local guy 'thinks' he can do it and screws it up you just lost badly. Level10 has been doing 350z transmissions for years and now has 2 done for the 370z.

Ah i wasnt aware they been long in the business. Thats good to know.

Honestly it just hurts , I have an approximate on shipping, It costs me as much as the transmission itself to get it done lol..so i am looking at approx 6k atleast excluding the installation of the transmission and removing the transmission out lol

OUCH really

That can go both ways, if there is a problem you will have to ship it back to them.

I'm having that debate myself right now. I have been planning to send mine to Level 10 but the shop that works on my car pointed out that they have a local shop that has done some monster GTR trans and if I had trouble they are right here to fix it. I still don't know what I'm going to do. So far mine has had no trouble but I'm not at the 500whp you want.
