Tanabe y pipe vs motordyne y pipe help me choose please

zuperman 370

I'm currently running an amuse stti exhaust, it's not a full cat back system, it's just a single mid pipe that connects to either the stock y pipe or an aftermarket one, so I was wondering which would be a better choice the tanabe or motordyne, and motordyne have 2 kinds of y pipes on their site what's the difference between the 2? And last but not least different y pipes have different measurements will these 2 y pipes I mentioned fit with my amuse exhaust, if any of you guys have anymore suggestions to any other y pipe please chime in

Both are great Y pipes. Both are stock replacements. The motordyne does give you some options such as a resonator or cat. Try to find a Y pipe that matches the the inlet of your Amuse CBE.

im currently running the motoryne xyz, i have to say its best y i have ever used...the sound and power are great! plus the flexibility that you get is unmatched..what you saw on thier site was the y with 1 of 3 diff adapters that jus clamp on. its a straight pipe, resonator, or a cat...i have the resonator on mine....really cleans up the sound.......that y was designed also for no tq loss....

As previously mentioned, both are great choices. I personally would go with the Motordyne over the Tanabe because of the adapters.

i was kind of leaning towards the motordyne, was just wondering will it fit the amuse stti?

zuperman 370

what is the differance between the resonated and normal one, which one do you recomend as i also ordered the ART pipes? and will it fit my amuse stti since its just a mid pipe that connects to the y pipe?

Motordyne

The resonated version is a little quieter and warmer sounding. It helps to reduce rasp.

It fits just like the stock Y-pipe so if your exhaust will connect to a stock Y-pipe, it will connect to the XYZ pipe no problem.

Thank you Tony that's all the clarification I needed I'll order them along with the art pipes once they become available

Motordyne

Here is a sound and dyno comparison by TAC-M. The comparison is on a 350Z but it should relate closely in both relative sound and performance differences.

Motordyne

I havn't tested that specific setup but if anything, the resonated XYZ will have less rasp and a deeper sound.

anyone else have any input on this? looking into doing the same thing soon,just gotta decide which pipe to get

also rough idea/thoughts on how much "quieter" the resonated pipe is? or does it simply give it a deeper smoother sound?

Motordyne

Although it attenuates sound some, its mostly about tone control and reducing or eliminating rasp.
