keep in mind, the H-pipe is about a 2" pipe, then after the H-pipe is a 2.25" pipe to the resonators, and after the resonators it widens to 2.5" to the muffler. from having my car on the lift by a fellow Z enthusiast yesterday, he said this would create some nice backpressure, i'm likely going to have sonic motorsports fab me up an X-pipe from mandrel bends now. plan is as follows:
2.5" pipe from cat-back to X-pipe opening, then other end of X-pipe will be a 2.25" pipe to the flange of the resonator. this keeps all the stock widths, yet widens the area where there is the most restriction in our H-pipe. i'll post videos/pics whenever i have this done  |
Thats a great plan you have!
I think i may wait a bit until I see more videos about people that have done this, to ensure that the rasp will go away entirely with the x-pipe alone. I really wanna keep the nismo to keep with the nismo theme on the car, but the rasp drives me crazy sometimes! Time to save a bit more cash money! Good luck with that fab work! I definitely wanna hear about it once its done!
