Test Pipes and Y-Pipe Question...?
I will be getting a '13 Nismo Z soon and I'm planning my exhaust mods. I do not want to replace the stock rear section but I do want to enhance the sound of the exhaust. Berk, FI and AAM seem to be the most popular options for test pipes, cats, and y-pipes. My goal is to obtain a deeper exhaust sound without too much added rasp. If I go non-resonated test pipes with a y-pipe, what kind of sound will that yield? I know if I go resonated test pipes the sound will be deeper but more subdued compared to non-res pipes.
Which non-res test pipes would yield the best overall sound with or without the y-pipe without producing too much rasp? Thanks!

Also, the Nismo has an H-pipe, so make sure you buy the correct piece! Changing to AAM shorty tails AKA muffler deletes will make the car sound AMAZING, but it will drone at 100% of speeds, lol The best, least "raspy" test pipes will be the Motordyne Art pipes, but they any cheap... But with an OEM system, you should be quite ok with and shítty TP's Also, have you had a car with test pipes? Do you know HOW BAD it smells??? |

Get Berk High flow cats and get a new exhaust... The Nismo IS better than the stock one, but not better than aftermarket Not to stir the shítstorm/bucket, but unless you DIE for the body kit, don't buy the Nismo, it's a waste of money If you text, feel free to text me (310)eight nine three-4207 |

May I ask a prickish question?
If you had all these much more baller cars than the 370Z, why 370Z now? Btw, I had the newest gen Maxima, and I modded it, it was amazing (not sure if you modded yours, and if you're gonna sell it, text me details, I want one for my dad) |

The reason I've sold the GT-R's is because my fiance and I are saving to buy a big house. We have outgrown our current house and we need something bigger. She asked me if I could down grade my toy and I agreed. And, no, I have not modded my Maxima outside of Eibach Pro kit springs; it's my daily driver.

Sweet!
Berk and Fast Intentions are the 2 BEST companies, sound wise and gains should be similar Fast Intentions is made to order, and better quality, so if you can afford the price, go for it And make sure you saw a video with the stock Nismo exhaust, not just, "a stock" exhaust |

Dwayne, I know that's got to be you! haha
here the video I was talking about This is with our upcoming S-Line midpipe and S-Line short tails (muffler delete) It's tough getting a nice trumpet exhaust note when you remove the stock cats. Whether it be rasp or hiss, it's very common for these motors when you free up exhaust flow

Dwayne, that's very common with these motors on an N/A free flowing set up. In the video he is still on stock cats, once those are out, it will rasp more but some love it, some hate it haha
