Default Tanabe Y pipe info

Ya i've been looking for these Y pipes for quite a bit just sharing with you guys. I Saw this post just now on my350 thought i share with you guys




Tanabe USA Inc.

We are proud to bring you the Tanabe Exhaust Y-Pipe for the Nissan 370Z. Sharing the same efficient design as our y-pipe for the 350z, this exhaust application for the 370z proves to improve horsepower and torque throughout the whole rev range. (+ ~9 HP / + ~6 Tq)

The catback exhaust system of the Nissan 350z and 370z is broken up into three parts -- the front pipe (y-pipe), midpipe, and the muffler section. The Y-Pipe is the beginning of the catback system, and it mounts immediately after the catalytic converters. Following the Y-Pipe is the midpipe, and finally the muffler section. As the first part of the Z catback exhaust system, the Y-Pipe is an ever-important element. In order to extract the maximum potential from an aftermarket exhaust system, changing the factory Y-Pipe to a high-performance piece is a MUST.

Our testbed for the y-pipe was this 100% STOCK Nissan 370Z. Leaving the factory midpipe and muffler section intact, we installed our Tanabe Y-Pipe, which created power in this otherwise completely untouched Z.

Key Points:
  • Full SUS304 Construction
  • Power increase throughout the rev range
  • Can be used with the stock exhaust
  • Smog controls unaffected


Tanabe USA Inc.

SUS304 Construction
The Nissan Z Car is a high performance car with great output. As such, it's important for the exhaust system to be able to survive the heat and pressure from the engine. The Tanabe Y-Pipe is made from Full SUS304 Stainless Steel, which is the strongest steel currently available.

Power Up
Even with the factory exhaust in place, the Tanabe Y-Pipe will result in a power increase. The numbers don't lie! (+ ~9 HP / + ~6 Tq). And let's not forget about the other big benefit from a more efficient exhaust system -- increased throttle response! Power numbers aside, creating a better exhaust system will physically make your car FEEL better. It's a difference you can feel at the tip of your right foot.

Compatibility with the Stock Exhaust
Those who want the power increase without attracting attention from our favorite law enforcers can rest assured -- the Tanabe Y-Pipe is 100% compatible with the STOCK exhaust system.

Smog Controls Unaffected
Smog controls remain unaffected because the Tanabe Y-Pipe mounts AFTER the factory smog systems.

$570.00 for just the Y pipe, damn that seems high!

But if you get more HP without making the car louder that would be a plus.

I'm just use to my Wifes 2007 Solstice GXP. Went to the dealer got a GM performance tune under factory warranty plus had the dealer install it for $750.00. Which made +30hp and +65lbs tq, but thats because the tune raised the boost from 17psi to 21-23psi. It's just real easy to get major HP from turbo charged cars! The Solstice is gone (Should say Totaled) and now I have the 370z which is much nicer car. I just wish I could make that kind of extra power with the 370z without making it really loud, and breaking the bank.

If anyone is interested in these, i'll give you guys better pricing than full retail, guranteed

Also, JIC MAGIC has a y pipe available now. I'll post up pictures of them tomorrow. Unfortunately, its around the same price as the tanabe's.

Better than the Amuse Y Pipe cost at about $1500!!

Then again, it is Amuse and it is titanium.... I still want to know how much weight it saves over the stock Y...

Revive! I've also been looking for Y pipes now. Does anyone know the weight difference between the JIC and the Amuse Y pipe? I don't know if I can justify spending $1350 for a Y pipe. Even though I just bought the Amuse R100 and the full setup would be nice. Anyone opinions would be appreciated.

It would be a matter of 5-10 pounds at most, whether that is worth another grand is up to you.

I would guess I dropped around 10 pounds of exhaust weight between the Berk HFCs and the Tanabe Y pipe but weight savings isn't high on my list as 10 pounds is negligible.

The weld and collector quality on these are much nicer that the JIC or Topspeed Y pipes and the overall design of the bends is smoother. It is a bit expensive and it is debatable whether or not what I mentioned actually yields and improvement over the others but it is better quality nonetheless.

Yes, the exit is a full 3" diameter. I honestly cannot remember the weight, but it was 7 pounds less than the stock Y pipe when I measured the difference. I will update if I can find my info where I have the stats.

Thanks for the info. This is the only specs I could find (http://www.z1auto.com/prodmore.asp?m...st&prodid=2836) and it says it's a 70mm collector (2.75in). But the heading also says it's for a 350z....did they make the collector larger for the 370?
