My car is already pretty loud with just the Short tails and Typhoons, does the Y-pipe make it even louder. Not sure Im looking for MORE volume

Im pretty sure itll make it a bit louder, but shouldn't that much of a difference.

I wouldn't think its much louder. Probably more of a raspy throaty sound though...

Couldn't find a "Random Question" thread so ill post it here since I guess it might be considered a cheap mod.

Would there be any noticeable change in performance, airflow, or sound if I were to install a Y pipe from a 350z HR? I used to have an 03 g35 DE so for that it did get a deeper since the y-pipe did have a smoother flow due to the HR y pipe having a smoother intersection from the curves compared to the DE which had very sharp turns joining the 2 inlets. HR vs VHR (if I'm not mistaken) the HR has 2.75" inlets as the VHR has 2.5". I know it wouldn't make a big difference but wondering if anyone has tried this before. I've had an HR y pipe sittin in my room for the longest time just haven't had the time to install it yet.

I got a can of KAD spray paint from Automotivetouchup.com for ~$20. I also purchased the adhesion promoter and clear coat. With them I have done a custom Z start button, color matched my EVO-R Z emblems and my shift boot trim. Up next is another can (plus a can of KAV probably) to do some more of the silver trim inside the car as well as the door handles and side markers :tup:

Nice, I need to fix a few spots on my car. Especially the side skirts, those things are torn up. When I took my 370Z emblem off the back it took a small chip of paint with it, and there's a small chip on both sides of my car. :smh:

For chips, I think Dr. Colorchip is a better solution for DIY. You would have to be very experienced imo to properly blend the spray paint and your PW color makes that even more difficult.

I thought Dr. Chip didn't work with PW?

It works just fine!

I know the metallics/pearls are a special 3 coat whatever BS, but I've seen Dr. Colorchip on a PW, and I didn't know it had touch up applied
