Are these Z1 Test Pipes?

nandosman · 04-24-2018, 01:35 PM

Someone from a Facebook group is selling these as Z1 Test Pipes for 370z, he also uploaded a Z1 receipt with it, it says he got them on April 2017. I'm inclined to buy them but am really concerned because the Z1 Test Pipes have a bracket on them, which these don't.

I tried contacting Z1 about it, but as usual, they didn't help me. Can anyone confirm if these are indeed Z1? Did they do test pipes without the brackets in 2017?

He asks $70, it is cheap, but I really don't like doing business with scammers, if those aren't Z1 as he says, no matter the price.

Z1 test pipes have an 02 bung welded in also. It doesn't appear that those do.

Those aren't Z1 test pipes. I have them on my car and those don't look them. Z1 test pipes are exactly how they picture them on their website with the bracket attachment and along with the J bung there is an extra O2 sensor bung on the front.
I got my test pipes back in 2014.

It looks like hes just trying to show you how much of a savings hes giving you by selling them for 70 bucks. Hes trying to pull a fast one. I bet money the z1 are on his car and swapped them out for these. BUT, i have these ebay/amazon one on my car and they work. Their just pipes. Unless you need the extra 02 bung (usually the supercharged and turbo cars need them tuning) if youre n/a you're fine.

Yes those are not Z1 Motorsports test pipes. Those look like low quality test pipes that could possibly be found on Amazon or eBay. Be careful of what brand test pipes you get they all don’t have good fitment and the quality of the welds is something to be concerned about.
