Cheap Y pipe
Ran many pipes in my time :icon17:
I have used this piece and TBH, it fits very well and on my stock Z def made a difference. Its dead cheap and is actually pretty good quality for the $$ (actually better then a Y I ran at over 2X the cost) Anyways, some one may be looking for a cheap mod and this sure fits the bill. I have no assoiciation to the seller so purely an FYI. Nissan 370Z Z34 09 10 11 G37 08+ Exhaust Y-Pipe Y Pipe - eBay (item 330508965114 end time Jan-14-11 18:09:04 PST) Cheers |
Is the diameter any bigger than stock? It looks small from the pics and there are no specs on the listing.....
|
3 in to dual 2.5
|
I have this y-pipe and it is very nice and is very loud
|
hmm... says it fits a g37 too... ive been thinking about picking up a y-pipe to complete my system
edit: How was the fitment? |
Fits the best of all the pipes I tried.
Check out my ART MD thread, pics in there are of this pipe mated up. |

While I am happy with my Tanabe Y pipe and still think it has the best collector, it is amazing how cheap the OBX and the unbranded Y pipe you posted are! $40 is an absolute no brainer, the OEM y pipe is extremely restrictive.

FYI, DE owners buy our stock Y pipe and they get good gains, I saw one dyno with 10 HP gains just from swamping stock DE Y pipe to VHR Y pipe... Its funny how we hate our Y pipe while DE owners love our Y pipes... |
$80 shipped. I'll give it a try for that price.
|
^nice. Please report back
|
For that price it's hard NOT to at least give it a shot.
|
Just bought it.
Thanks for the link!! I hope this will give me a little more of a growl w/ the new muffler delete pipes I had made. |
NP Glad - post up when you get it installed and running.

I'm hoping it will give me a little more of a growl with my muffler delete pipes...
I'll post a DIY as well as a before and after sound comparison. :-D |

I snagged one...might as well try it out and see.
|
Actually... it's not really loud.
It's hard to fathom, however you'd be surprised as to how restrictive and acoustically suppressing the factory exhaust is. Removing the muffler really just adds a deeper tone to it. |
any thoughts on this Megan Racing Y Pipe? Megan Racing. I still don't understand why the higher end Y pipes have a dual 2.3" when stock is 2.5"?
|
I bought that same exact y-pipe from that eBay seller about a month ago. Installed it about a week ago along with ERZ cats (still stock muffler). Fitment wasn't bad, but not as perfect as I would have liked. (Loose fitted, things were off about 1/2".) Everything bolted up and came together though. They did send the wrong gasket with the y-pipe, so I had to reuse the OEM one.
Since both were put on at the same time, I can't say for sure how the y-pipe alone changed things, but with them both, there's definitely a HP increase and the sound is a little louder, but a similar sounding to stock. On cold start, there seems to be a little rasp. Since it's relatively new, I don't know if that'll go away or not. Once it has warmed up, at idle, it sounds exactly the same as stock. WOT, though, it's definitely louder. I'm getting my car UpRev tuned tomorrow, so I should be able to get a dyno read of what these did for the car. |
Here is a crappy video I made of my muffler delete pipes...
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f3...h_6ba35a28.jpg I'll hope another one once the Y pipe is on. |
I installed one of these obx style Y-pipes along with test pipes over the weekend (waiting on my CBE to arrive).. Sounds like total dog poop! It's almost comical when you hear just how horrific it sounds when hooked up to the stock cat back.
Just an FYI :) |

I don't have mustangs anymore. I owned a variety of fox body mustangs over the years.
Now it's time for a new type of toy :) |

The videos below were with OBX Y and CNT test pipes, it was not so bad IMO. Interested to know whats going on with yours.;) BTW - which CBE did you snag? http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...h_MVI_1356.jpg http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o...h_MVI_1357.jpg |

^ I would for the cost, it worked pretty well for me with a set of drop ins...
I am prolly going to the local meet on the 22nd (check out TEXAS area thread) if you wanna check it out. |
Katsley, is that stock with just y-pipe?
|
Videos above are Y (OBX) pipe with TP's
|
Just so you guys know, I called to track my package and they said it was shipped by Megan Racing.
Could it be that we bought Megan racing Y pipes for $80 shipped? LOL |
Interesting... mine was blank packaging so see what gives I guess
|
Could be unbranded parts... still a way for Megan to make money when no one with expensive cars buys their cheap parts. $80 for a y pipe is crazy cheap...
My oil change costs more than that. lol |
My Y pipe arrived today. For $80 smacks, I'm not complaining at all. Came with gaskets and bolts. Looks like TIG welding also. The box was labled M2Performance. Will see how she bolts up. When I can afford it, I will finsh it up with a Tanabe CBE. Thanks again for the heads up.:tiphat:
