is there a packaged deal with the catback exhaust :)

LiquidZ 05-06-2009 04:59 PM

Looks great George!

I will definitely be interested once tuning becomes readily available.

We can definitely work something out once our production exhaust is completed.

Thanks for the compliments! I will be sure to let you know once we are done tuning on the 370Z, it isn't going to be an issue :)

Those look really nice, George! What kind of gains can one expect from them?

George@GTM 05-06-2009 06:35 PM

Thank you, the gains will be the same as our previous test pipes, since the resonator we use is pass through (won't create any back pressure).

Hey these look pretty damn nice!

Pictures + Dyno + Decent price = Good Job Sir.

Im going to be looking for test pipes soon. Waiting on sound clip differences between resonated and non.

George@GTM 05-06-2009 07:20 PM

We haven't had a G with stock exhaust with these on yet but a customer of ours is going to be installing these pretty soon, I will link the vid when available.

Thanks guys!

LiquidZ 05-06-2009 08:29 PM

Sorry to be a pest George, but what type of steel are these made out of?

frost 05-06-2009 08:31 PM

Keeping this in mind!

DannyGT 05-07-2009 11:46 AM

Does this come with the O-ring gasket?

Not being a pest at all, I forgot to list it! It is 304 Stainless Steel.

No it does not, we could provide one at an additional cost if needed.

So do you just tell people to re-use stock O-ring or do you feel you dont need one at all?

Also, I'm sure you've heard that 2k-3k rasp/flutter from the test pipes...How well do these pipes dampen that noise compared to say, the HFCs ??

Excellent!

DannyGT 05-18-2009 11:12 PM

George, can you answer my last question about the rattling...and I have one more...

Do these things really go bad ? I mean, I was told by a 350z guy who said he went thru a couple of sets in his 5 years with the car because they went bad...(not sure who's he was using) - So if true, is there some sort of maintenance to prevent stuff like that from happening ?

DannyGT 05-21-2009 02:23 PM

Ferris...Bueller...Anyone Anyone?

George check your PMs - Get at me!

I need to know this info based on your experiences and I have the money ready to put down...

t-ray 05-21-2009 02:35 PM

I don't see how a test pipe can "go bad". Yes, a weld can break - that happens to both TP's and HFC. But the test pipes are literally straight pipes - there is nothing in there. There is no "brick" or substrate like a HFC - so there is nothing to blow out or "go bad'.

DannyGT 05-21-2009 02:39 PM

No, its not JUST a test pipe...its resonated, hence why I ask if they find that the resonated part goes bad quicker than say a HFC...

semtex 05-21-2009 02:42 PM

But a resonator is still just expanded tubing, is it not? The thing is still hollow.

DannyGT 05-21-2009 02:44 PM

Is it? I dont know? I thought it had some sort of mesh in that expanded area...If thats the case than ya other than the welds there wouldnt be anything that goes bad...

I need confirmation from GTM

semtex 05-21-2009 02:50 PM

I had Kinetix resonated test pipes on my 350 and it was hollow. Basically it's just a hollow chamber to allow sound to . . . well . . . resonate. But yeah, we should let George confirm.

George@GTM 05-21-2009 02:52 PM

Correct it is hollow, no performance decrease from a regular test pipe, just better sound!

DannyGT 05-21-2009 03:31 PM

Great !
Sorry t-ray I thought it had something in the expanded portion! I stand corrected...

George, I'll like to order a set...just confirm with my PM...and I didnt mean FREE or anything! Incase thats what you thought :)

No problem man. Good that you sought clarification and didn't buy something you weren't 100% sure on.

So I fitted my resonated tp's today. And I can't see how anyone could reuse the ring gasket for the header flange. It simply does not fit over the male part of the gtm flange due to the diameter being larger. I have both brand new rings from nissan and the used ones from stock. And both do not fit. I used ultra copper liquid gasket by permantex. Fingers crossed it doesn't leak.

I know this thread is old but I feel my experience should be notes for interested tp buyers.
