Sound
Heay hopefully someone can help me. I installed in my 370z 2010 a magnaflow exhaust and just added test pipes with custom tuning. Power of the car got sooo much better but the only thing that is bothering me is the raspy sound that comes out of it especially when down shifting. Anyone know what i can do do fix this problem. Im looking for that roar sound, that raspy sounds sooo damn cheap.

Heey bro, great to see a member from Lebanon, that raspy sound most probably is caused due to the test pipes, if it is bothering you that much id advise you to have them replaced with either HFC or motordyne ART pipes, hope this helps :D

Non-resonated test pipes will cause this issue for many different exhaust systems. High flow cats will also cause this issue. Zuper is right, ART pipes are going to be your best bet.

The ART's are resonated test pipes, but you're right, others can help with the rasp too.
ART's just add back some of the power and torque you lose with other test pipes. |
ive heard resonated test pipes, ive heard ART pipes and ive heard diff HFC's.
the ART pipes def do the best of them all in terms of limited the sound |

They probably just flow a little better due to the unique resonator design -- other than that, you can't flow much more freely than an open pipe. |
They also improve the torque curve quite a bit.

Also, the loss with test pipes isn't at the top end, it's at the low end, this is where the ART's correct the problem, and as said above, it bumps the torque nicely, between 15-20 ft/lbs in some cases. |

I will say i've not seen Dyno's of the 370, so that's from the 350.
I do not have them to hand, but if you do a search (sorry i don't have time to do it right now) then you will see independent dyno's including delta graphs (the good ones showing the difference) Best place is probably g35driver or my350z for the time being. |
Indeed. Plenty of dynos have shown fantastic low-end TQ gains on VQs with ART Pipes.

Thanks guys **** that was alot of help. gonna try them out for a while and see if i can get use to the sound. if not then will see what i do. Peace

But it's not as if the gains are massive as compared to ebay pipes... They make a few more whp/wtq than regular test pipes -- that's it. For example: http://www.the370z.com/members/jordo...ferent-tps.jpg Yes, with tuning, some more power might have been picked up, but the differences will still be relatively small. They're nice pipes; they sound nice and score you more power than regular TP's, but let's not get crazy here. No one should be losing any power anywhere provided the pipes are the right diameter. I've seen zero evidence of this. Explain to me why this would happen. Do mean that blip at like 2000 RPM? That's as likely to be wheelspin as the dyno started recording as not. From 2.5K on it looks about the same or shows gains, probably helped most with a tune. |
That's not a very accurate dyno or comparison, then. It doesn't seem to be back-to-back, one run is tuned, one isn't. There was possibly some wheelspin on the dyno, as well? Too many variables.
Here is a dyno on a 350Z VQ35DE. No tunes on either of the runs. Both done back-to-back. These were the gains Tony people would see and in that range, and we did. I've seen similar dynos on VQ35HRs, as well. http://img693.imageshack.us/img693/6...erartpipes.png |
