HKS Centre Pipe Installed
 
Okay guys so i ordered the HKS centre pipe because i could source it here and i cant get other exhausts here in S.A for the same price.

First of all i have to say Nissan you should be embarrassed with the stock centre pipe! The amount of restriction is unbelievable and the pipe diameter increases and decreases its awfully done.

But the HKS quality was amazing and nothing less than spectacular. Fit was all of 45mins and not one problem!.



The Sound has increased on take off and is deeper but seems to go away after a while. But i do feel there is alot more power! And im not surprised with the restriction of thes stock exhaust.

Unfortunatley i never had a chance to get dyno'd before and after :shakes head:.

I will post video comparison later today for you guys.

Here is some pictures:

Awesome. Looks really good. :tup: All you need now is a exhaust and you're set! How about HKS rear section?

Ummmm im skeptical about the muffler as its the same price as the centre pipe as after seeing that video it doesn't sound appealing at all! Unless the video is just with the muffler and no centre pipe...

I think i might get something custom made.

I haven't even seen these pieces yet, they look very nice. What did they run? Any other vendors putting out front and midpipes yet??

I took the car out again tonight and it has made a big difference in my opinion! Revs smoother through revs...

Here is a video comparison but the centre pipe in the video is cold and rasps abit until warm so i will make another video wen centre pipe is warm maybe tomorrow....

I never really minded the rasp, as long as my exhaust never had the "tin-like" sound of the e46 m3

Sounds nice

Anyone know if these parts are avail stateside? I looked at their site and didn't find anything. I wish more vendors would put out front and mid pipes already :-/

It shud be available stateside but not many people buy it as its like $1000 wen u can get a full cbe for that price or abit more.

What do you guys think about the legamax muffler?? Anyone able to translate the video? Is it showinfg just the muffler or muffler and centre pipe??....

Anyone know of a company that i could get back boxes from? ARK , FI ? anyone???

I think HKS hi-power rear section looks better. Have you looked at fujimura auto rocket dancer exhaust rear section? That thing looks really nice.

I believe that our vendor 370ZTune sells them. All aces to 370Z Tune crew! :tup:

NYBladeZ 02-06-2010 09:23 AM

Did you by any chance measure the diameter of the HKS piping? 370ztune says it is 60.5mm which is less than 2.5in I wanted to know if it is less than or equal to 2.5
