Cheap Y pipe

1ceasar180 · 02-25-2011, 12:07 PM

I put on the Y-pipe and test pipes on along with Top Speed yesterday. The rasp is very bad. Under 2k I have some then it goes away until around 5k under heavy acceleration. If you can ignore the rasp and listen to the exhaust note, it sounds awesome. I'll prob go back to the stock CATS. I don't think I can get used to the tin sounding rasp.

HFCs or resonated pipes seem to work out pretty good. I am waiting for more sound clips with HFCs before I go that route.

I wish I would've got the resonated pipes now. Having to put the stock cats back on doesn't thrill me. The test pipes are easy to get on and off but the top bolts on the stock cats are tough. I had to go from the top side with a 3 foot extension to get to one of the bolts. Ya don't know till ya try though.

I bought this Y-pipe and will be installing it soon.............Heres my question coming from the turbocharged world the best exhaust is no exhaust, but because my 370z is n/a will this larger y-pipe cause me to loose low end performance ? I ask this because when I installed a larger exhaust on my last n/a car I lost low end performace while picking up some top end.
