confused on the 370z exhaust system

bmarcinczyk14 · 08-02-2009, 05:03 PM

ok, i have a couple questions about the exhaust system on the 370z. on my sentra se-r spec v, you have the header, then midpipe, and then the catback. how does it go on the 370z? lets say you purchase a catback exhaust system with high flow cats, then your still left with the stock midpipe and headers correct? or is it called the y-pipe instead of midpipe on the 370z? lets say you purchase some headers along with the catback exhaust and high flow cats, then your still left with the stock y-pipe correct? im so confused lol.

headers are headers

HFC's are HFC's

catback's are catbacks (from HFC to the tips, includes a y-pipe, h-pipe, x pipe....which ever you want)

ok, then what comes right after the high flow cats? lets say i purchase a catback exhaust system with high flow cats. the only thing left to get would be headers correct? after the headers i would have a full exhaust system right?

Yes

i know that on some cars installing headers makes it louder and raspier. is this true for the 370z? will it be raspy with stillen headers, a fast intentions catback exhaust with fast intentions hfc? will the fast intentions hfc bolt right up to the stillen headers with out any problems?

nogoodname · 08-02-2009, 05:26 PM

correct, just 3 piece to the puzzle

i can tell you that Stillen headers + berk HFC's + stillen CBE = doesnt fit without custom fitment.......so i dunno if the stillen headers would work

after installing headers on your car did it make it noticable raspier or louder?

nogoodname · 08-02-2009, 05:58 PM

they did??...that's good

on 2theextreme's Z...it wasnt fitting correctly

dont waste the money, stock headers are fine on the 370, with out a tune wich is expensive, you will loose low-end torque = fail. Highflow cats on the reserved side, Testpipes for enthusiasts, quality exhaust = pass. IMO...first thing i would do is swap the clucth as well as flywheel.
