Garageline Xpipe/Midpipe Review/Setups **PICS/Videos**
 
**UPDATE 09/16/14** Installed a Top speed Axle Back in place of the Garageline Axle back to compare the sounds and tones:

I LOVE the sound of this exhaust. It is relatively quiet so its perfect for those who are looking for a nice deep tone, and smooth sound without the over bearing sound, or drone. there is ZERO drone in this exhaust. The tips are perfect IMO. I recommend this to anyone. Butt Dyno approved as well. I am working on getting the dyno results for it. and will update this thread with the results.


**7/23/14** So ill introduce this saying the guinea pig car is my 2010 Sport Touring 7at 370Z. 100% stock. This is the second 370Z I have owned and the 4th Z I have owned. My other 370Z went through 6 different exhaust configurations. I am speaking with confidence in this product.

Review Item: GarageLine 370z Xpipe & midpipes only. **not their axle back section** Ordering was a very smooth transaction. I honestly had never heard of this exhaust until another member here mentioned it to me. *Roddy1*

Upon asking the Garageline owner about the X pipe and mid pipes he responded next day with prices on everything I wanted, and how much it would cost to ship to Hawaii. Shipping isn't cheap, but he gave me a great deal and even threw in some hood dampers with my order. And as I am writing this him and I are talking about getting the axle back muffler section and/or testpipes ordered as well. Im Very happy with his customer service.

Arrival of parts: Everything was packed very tight and neat. More packing peanuts weight than the exhaust weight.(figuratively) As well as everything being wrapped in plastic and bubble wrap. There was no damage, no scratches or punctures. Packing was great. Then I pulled out the midpipes. These were so shiny. I couldn't believe it. I then pulled out the Xpipe. Absolutely beautiful pieces of exhaust. Looks to be very highly polished and we'll put together. I was very impressed. I then started taking pictures of the exhaust. Inside and out. I took pictures of the outside bends, the flanges, the xpipe, the inside of the flex pipe, the inside of the resonators and where the X pipe meets so all of you can see what they look like and see that for what you pay for this combo, your getting a quality product.

Installation day: upon the first part of removing my stock exhaust (I have removed the exhaust on many of these multiple times.) It went quite smoothly. And everything was off the car within 20 -30 min Includingthe time it took to get the car on jack stands. Then I layed out the stock exhaust, and compared it to the new garageline pipes. Major difference. The 2.5" piping made the stock exhaust look even smaller than it is. The smooth bends of the pipe of the Garageline pipes compared to the stock exhaust was soo much better. The flanges are much thicker. The design is great. Putting this exhaust on went just as smoothly taking the stock exhaust off. If not easier. All the nuts, bolts, gaskets were included. Once everything was on I did the washer mod with the stock muffler to see how much of a difference in sound it made over the stock ypipe and mid. And it is crazy. I'll post the first start video. Then after doing that I re attached the rear muffler and the exhaust is now slightly louder and MUCH deeper than stock. I can most definitely feel a little gain down low and mid range. But not getting a tune until I finish the exhaust and Intake of the car. If you guys have any questions please feel free to ask. I am very happy and extremely satisfied with the choice I made. I hope it helps some of you make yours up as well. This was a great experience and the product is absolutely awesome.

And now for the pics!!

Wow, that sounds really good like that! Glad this worked out for you!

Its nice to see a manufacturer with very fair prices and excellent service for our vehicles!

Tempestz 07-24-2014 10:06 AM

I agree it sounded great like that. I was thinking about picking up some short tails, but I'm afraid once I get the Z1 headers and Art pipes it will be waaay too loud. So I need to find a muffled alternative.

As for fairly priced, this can be beat. Amazingly low price and looks and sounds great. I would love to pick up his axle back just because he has kept in contact with me through out the process. I'll let you know if I get it too.

Jayhovah 07-24-2014 02:57 PM

yeah garageline communication is solid.. I exchanged a bunch of PMs with him about spacers and the CBE.. great prices even though I didnt end up buying =/ ... I decided to go with the CNT exhaust only because I like the HKS style more then the OEM style and he ran out of stock on spacers when I finally got my act together to order. You really cant beat the communication and the prices though! I have heard good things overall about his customer service.

Tempestz 07-24-2014 05:54 PM

I agree, customer service is on point. As for the OEM design. I don't really mind it with the Xpipe design. I'm looking forward to possibly picking up the axle back portion. It sounds really good with some longtubes. He has shown some pretty good gains from the catback also. Looking forward to see how it mates to the Z1 headers and ART pipes. Then get a dyno to see how much this exhaust really makes and screams.

Looks awesome on the car man!

Tempestz 07-25-2014 03:54 PM

Thanks! I can't wait to get the Axle back and Test pipes. It will look great on the car. And Ill be sure to post some videos of the Exhaust once installed.

I couldn't agree more. I just finished my exhaust set-up using the GarageLine Mid/X-Pipe combo. I had originally installed the GTHaus Axleback while my exhaust was stock, and then ended up adding Berk HFCs to it. I was extremely happy with the sound, but knew down the road, I wanted a tune. So then I began my search for a Mid Pipe and Y Pipe that would fit between my HFCs and Axleback. Then I stumbled upon GarageLine's combo... those guys are easy to talk to and are willing to work with you. The price was cheap, and the shipping was quick. I am in the process of making an exhaust complication of my set-up, so everyone can hear it and compare it. This exhaust combo from GarageLine, made my car sound like a monster. You will not be disappointed with their products. Here's a quick YouTube video shot from an iPhone.

I know, and then I saw your thread for the GarageLine exhaust. I appreciate the kind words! I had some guy in a GT-R pull up to me the other day and said the same thing. I am extremely happy with this combination, now I'm just trying to get a good video shoot with good audio to show it off. Good luck to you in finding that combination that suites you and isn't too loud lol

Tempestz 08-01-2014 11:05 AM

Just ordered the axle back portion of the Garageline exhaust. I will update the thread with pics and video. As soon as i receive it. Also after it has been on for a week or so, I'll take it back to the shop I baselined at and compare results. (Not tuned) and only catback.

Roddy1 08-01-2014 11:18 AM

Damn, Now I'm starting to look into this mid pipe and possibly their test pipes again also!

Nice to have a vendor on here who charges a fair price for their product and backs it up with top notch service.

Tempestz 08-01-2014 11:25 AM

Can't beat the price. And I know it would sound awesome with the top speed axle back. Post in here if you order! I'd love to hear it.

richc2jeter 08-01-2014 01:33 PM

My Mid/X-Pipe Combo from GarageLine arrived within a week, for only $330 after shipping. And I couldn't be more happy with the sound. Here's another clip...
