I'm not an expert but any y-pipe is better than stock. Once you take it off you will see the diameter is smaller compare to the eBay one, you can't lose. Anyone chimes in?

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

Just drive around with no exhaust/cats.

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.

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

NickTurnon · 12-10-2012, 10:35 PM

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

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

Huck · 02-12-2013, 12:30 PM

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?
