OK so the exhaust looks sick nasty ! The only thing I want to know along with everyone else is if that is 99% of what the production exhaust will be how long with that extra 1% take until the exhaust will be ready and we will hear some samples and be able to purchase it ? What kind of time frame are we looking at ?

This was a clean sheet design that is going to require some custom made tools. The exhaust tips & support gussets are all custom made pieces and need custom made tools which all takes time. We just finished up another test fitment & sound check on Minicobra's 370Z today and the tips we fabricated for this system look absolutely perfect inside the 370Z bumper cutouts. Power tests on the 3 Y-pipe designs will be conducted next week by an independent 3rd party.

We'll have some pictures and video for you guys tomorrow!

Nice. Can't wait to see vids and dynos results! Exhaust looks great guys

Does the passenger side tip stick out further than the drivers side? it looks to be off about 1/2 - 3/4 inch.

Other than that, it looks fantastic...if that is the nismo next to it your exhaust makes that look like toy

It's just the angle that pic was taken at. A 1/2" or 3/4" length difference would stare at you in the face.

The exahust looks great and I'm glad someone took my opinion on using an oval slanted tip. GORGEOUS! Fills in the gap nicely.

However, I'm not so sure thats the angle of the pic...its kind-of obvious...easy fix tho since you just need to extend it straight on the drivers side. I mean you can see the difference in all the pics and the underneath shot is super obvious.

I hope it really is just the 'angle'.

We took some input from you guys who voiced their opinions on the oval vs. round tips. It took some engineering but we got the oval tip to work with the space you have back there.

One important thing to note is that you do not have to mess with removing or relocating the EVAP canister or EVAP lines.

Ya, definitely good call on the slanted oval tips

Yea, pass. side tip sticks out farther than drivers side for sure.

Togo · 07-09-2009, 08:32 PM

OH snap, I missed that. Now that you point it out it appears blatantly obvious. Maybe it's just a prototype defect? I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult to lengthen the driver side tip

All I can say is WOW!!.....that is soooo clean.
