I do not want to use their HFC's or Test Pipes. I am not planning on making any of these changes to my car until early next spring when I'll be getting my FI CBE so waiting is not an issue for me.

.... again, you realize it's just metal pipes with flanges, right? No magic, no mojo, nothing special about them.

Most (90+% or so) companies that make a TP or HFC for the 370 make one for the 350. The piping diameters will be the same, the cats will be the same, only difference is the flange.

You will pay MORE for no difference at all in performance or fitment. That's my point, they work the same...you will pay more... for absolutely no reason what so ever.

I know exactly what you are saying and I have looked into that as an option. I realize that companies do have DE versions of HFC's and TP's however as I mentioned I am not going to be buying these any time in the near future. I'm not in a rush to get this done so possibly by the time I am the headers specifically for the 370Z may be available and I would just go with them then. If I was in a hurry or wanted to do it right away then I probably would go and purchase these.

while you may consider it a PITA, as a last option is buying the Z1 headers, a new flange, cut and welding new flange on.

but then again, the 350z TP and HFC are much cheaper than the 370z ones so in fact having to use them is actually a bonus!

The HFC's that I am specifically looking at purchasing are the Fast Intentions HFC's. Their 350Z version and 370Z version are actually the same price online so I wouldn't be saving any money with those.

I know in some of the other 350Z versions v. 370Z versions thats true and the 350Z's are cheaper but I think I am going to be purchasing the Fast Intentions HFC's and CBE so there wouldn't be a difference in that case for me.

As does mine. I am not purchasing the headers anytime soon. Most likely it will be late spring 2014 when it's very possible that the headers with the HR flange will be available. If that's the case I'll just purchase those headers at that time.
