Tanabe Y Pipe
 

I have scoured this site and youtube for information about the sound that a Tanabe Y pipe would give to a stock exhaust or even better, one with the Berk HFCs and a stock axle back. I am limited to waiting on getting a full cat-back for a fair amount of time so I am doing as much as I can without touching the stock axle back section. During my Berk install, I saw just how pathetic the OEM Y pipe truely is which is why I am looking at the Tanabe.


How much of a volume increase should I expect on top of the Berks? I am guessing the power increase will be a couple horsepower and torques but I am more concerned with the sound. It is a super easy install and I could always add an axle back section from various aftermarket exhausts later.


Thanks in advance!

I have the Berk HFCs and the Tanabe Y Pipe and feel it produces the best sound possible from the 370Z. I had tried the Invidia catback but didn't like the sound or the drone it produced. The Y Pipe adds a little volume to the HFCs but not all that much.

That is perfect, exactly what I was looking for. I have made up my mind, I am just waiting for the Z store to price match and then I will head over to pick it up!

I took Jpit's recommendation, only I went with ERZ HFC's, and couldn't be happier. It makes good power with no rasp and sounds great. You won't be disapointed

I have my Berks installed, but I realized that OEM Y pipe to cat connection was pathetic and needed an upgrade. Thanks for the advice everyone, time to order up!

I've been debating on whether to get the the full tanabe exhaust or go down your path. Please post some video clips once your done. Thanks.

Absolutely, here is my starting point for reference. Stock exhaust with the only add on being the Berk HFCs:

very nice. I'm debating on adding the Y pipe also, whats the going rate from Z store?

ypipe is awesome, its huge compared to weak looking stock one. I love the sound of mine. and thats with no HFC

sounds great!!!! Where did you get the Y pipe from?

The past couple things I got from them, I had price matches and they accepted it which makes it a no brainer since I can pick it up from their store. The only issue right now is that they don't carry them so it would be a special order from Tanabe.

Actually, this is just the Berk HFCs and the rest is stock including the Y pipe. That video is just a reference for when I install the Tanabe Y pipe so that you guys can see the difference.

took me a while to find the info for this piece on Tanabe's website. Its under their turbo pipe sections just in case anyone else felt as retarded as I did
