APS 3.5 Downpipe Fitment on GTM?

COSMO · 03-03-2013, 07:30 AM

Wanting to see if anyone knows if the aps 3.5' downpipes for the 350z tt kit will fit the gtm tt kit? The exhaust side looks the same but I may be wrong.

Why do all your threads compare old APS parts for a 350 to GTM 370 parts/kits? Did you find an APS kit for a 350 in your closet?

COSMO · 03-03-2013, 09:20 AM

Not true but hey man no one is twisting your arm forcing you to reading my post. Iam trying to save some money on a bigger downpipe..

O&G · 03-03-2013, 09:36 AM

I never said I didn't like your post, I'm just curious to all your recent questions? Don't get mad... 3.5" huh, going big powa on a built motor?

Iam in the process of my 3rd TT install so no need to exchange wits just for arguement sake.. But no, Iam just sticking with the stock block for now unless something goes Boom later.. The reason Iam asking about the aps dp's is because its half the price compared to the gtm ones... Should have my gtm finished in about 2 weeks give or take and just dont want to have to go back and do anything twice. And yes, I do over think things sometimes.........................

I have a hard time believing GTM will verify fitment, and will most likely say no. It's bad business when they sell the same thing that they guarantee fits. The turbo manifold they use must be in the same exact position on both the APS and GTM kit which I have a difficult time believing they are.

COSMO · 03-03-2013, 11:15 AM

I have to agree but I figure since both pipes have to line up with the exhaust it might be possible. Iam No Iam wasnt asking gtm to referrence this because I understand from a business stand point to want to sell your own items first.. common sense, duh.

SS_Firehawk · 03-03-2013, 11:17 AM

It's the mounting point to the turbo where the issue would be.

Very interesting tho. Gtm charges a arm and leg for theres. If you find out please let me know. I may just buy some pipe and flanges and do my own because the 2.5 inch gtm pipes dont match up well with my greddys and im constantly dealing with exaust leaks. Of course thats not gtms fault for the record the pipes are done well. Just different manufacturers.

O&G · 03-03-2013, 12:39 PM

Yea, GTM parts are not cheep but they're made well. I was always a fan of the APS 350 kit.

LafitteZ · 03-03-2013, 12:46 PM

yea im surprised they didnt come out with a 370z kit. they had pretty good success with the 350z

COSMO · 03-03-2013, 02:21 PM

I was very please with my apt tt when I had and 350z and it is still on the road running today to the doctor I sold it too.

That's not even bad. It's there shipping that is flat out most retard system I've ever seen.

COSMO · 03-03-2013, 05:24 PM

Well in their defense shipping seems like it keeps getting higher and higher due to gas prices. Spohn I have the 2.5 gtm test pipes I bought from you but its funny because one end measure 2.5 id and the other end measures 2.25. Hell I'll prob just bite the bullet and just buy the gtm ones....
