Ready for Top Secret titanium exhaust

dalparadise · 03-09-2010, 11:12 PM

I thought you'd like a view few of us get to see. This is called Project Mothra and is a Top Secret project on a base 370Z. The CBE is going on next...

kevin.z · 03-10-2010, 08:53 PM

travisjb · 03-10-2010, 11:05 PM

please click facebook link people then READ the are actually stillen headers/cats, top secret is only making the intake, exhaust, and other rice parts, I have lost all hope i had for anything made by top secret, it will cost 3000 dollars and sound just like the greddy there review done oops forgot it was titanium- $5000

Edit: STRAIGHT JDM YO FTMFW SHYTS ILL, MAN GET SOME HELLA FLUSH RIMS ON THAT RIDE !!!!

ALso it will be getting the 1200 or 1500 dollar top secret REFLASH enough said

^^ for their sake I hope not, the Z community is about value and performance, if you want to make parts that expensive market to Porsche drivers. However the picture looks like a full titanium headers and HFC, basically a long tube header. Only concerning thing that I can see is the O2 sensor placement

1slow370 · 03-11-2010, 08:21 PM

nope it's stillen headers and stillen hfc the car isn't a topsecret car it's owned by a nissan dealership that is haveing the topsecret parts made for it.

NYBladeZ · 03-11-2010, 08:37 PM

I hate how they make a teaser post and don't update, hope they get around to it. Last I heard that Top Secret picked up 3 Z's in a joint project with the dealership and each one is getting a different setup.

dalparadise · 03-11-2010, 08:57 PM

Just a note here -- and I apologize for inaccuracies, as I'm an enthusiastic observer of this project and sometimes get ahead of myself -- The exhaust is not on the car yet. I spoke to the dealership today and the Top Secret exhaust will actually be a stainless steel setup they have designed specifically to be a value-driven piece for Z drivers. So, it'll be much more affordable and still deliver TS-style sound and performance.

For the record, the owner of this dealership already has a GT-R that is fully Top-Secreted out and is probably unattainable to all but the most die-hard enthusiasts out there. They have no reason to try to do this to the Z. The Z they are building is more of an exercise in making a cool show/track car that uses some heretofore hard-to-get parts and makes them more accessible to people like me. I, for one, think it's pretty cool to see a dealership take on such a project.

NYBladeZ · 03-11-2010, 11:05 PM

thanks for the clarification, I'm looking forward to see the results on the exhaust, I need something nice to go with the long tube headers

so 269 bone stock ? That seems a bit high on their dyno. I dyno'd at 276 on my second pull with G3 intakes and BERK CBE. I do have bigger wheels/tires but that shouldn't matter. I was told they had a 370z on there that had headers and light weight flywheel on there from Baker Jackson and it put 280 with UpRev tune.

I was also told that GT-R put down 480ish I believe.

1slow370 · 03-12-2010, 02:13 AM

aahhh ok stainless so just drop the price to 2500 also 480 for a gtr is nothing i expect more when you are using the "top secret rice god" name

edit: noticed typo meant 480 point still stands that a crappy exhaust and a tune for those cars

B1nks · 03-12-2010, 02:29 AM

I think you might wanna re-read and EDIT..but I got kinda what you're saying I guess. Also, Dalparadise, who are you exactly ? What I mean is, are you a 370z owner that's participating in the tune portion of it or just a bystander or.. ? Not trying to come across rude but I was just curious.
