Also, if I am reading correctly, this is essentially the same thing as the true dual you guys sell; it will convert the Y pipe/H pipe/whatever into two pipes (given you actually use the H pipe from the true dual), which go down through the midpipe, into the short tails. This is essentially the true dual product using short tails instead of resonated cans.

I understand you're only gathering some mild interest, but why not simply "bend" the current 2.5" true dual AAM sells to fit the short tails? Mind you, I'm only an engineering student, so I don't know of any issues that would arise from such a jury rigged solution. To solve noise issues, you could vary the placement and size of the resonators until you reached a solution.

Either way, I'm also sort of interested in an ETA, if you can provide one. This will probably be the only midpipe replacement on the market for the Z; G owners (especially the X, AWD variant owners) would kill for something like this, if they didn't want to do a catback.
to answer this question, our current mid section in our true dual is bent to fit the rear sections of the true dual only. It would make most sense to rebend the true duals mid section to mate to the stock exhaust/short tails and then build the true dual rear sections from there but it sounds like we are going the harder route which we will discredit the true dual completely minus the H-pipe

the test car will go up hopefully in a few weeks and pretty much what's going to happen is we will bolt up the H pipe (from the true dual), bolt up the stock 370z rear muffler and build the mid section from scratch to connect the two
