09 2014 Nissan 370Z Cat Axle Back Axleback Catback Exhaust System Z34 nismo New | eBay

That's all the same product, same fitment etc.

What if we cut the tips off the Top Speed axleback all together and put new ones on, that are not as long.

Why spend more money when you have some good tips already on it?

You might have missed one of the points in this thread. Alot of people want to buy this axleback but it is intended for the NISMO 370Z, so when its installed on the regular 370Z the tips stick out almost 2 inches past the rear bumper.

What about using the stock tips? Might have to polish them a bit to get them to match the canisters....

I realize that. But you already bought two tips with the system. Just cut them back to save some green.

Thats the issue, because the tips themselves are long, plus the length of pipe between the tips and canisters isn't much (see pic), it might be easier to buy shorter tips...

Attachment 88005

The tips that come on it are about 6.5" from the weld to end of the tip on top and 5.5" from the weld to the end of the tip on the bottom..

Attachment 88006
Attachment 88007

or like someone else suggested, possibly replacing the section of pipe between the canister and the exhaust flange... it would just have to be a much more extreme angle so the tips still line up with the exhaust cutouts on the bumper...

Maybe something like this...

Stainless Steel Exhaust Tip Double Wall Angle 2 5" Inlet 4" Outlet 5" Long | eBay

I actually had these on my 350z.... (with a 80 series flowmaster)

Flowmaster Exhaust 4" Tip Stainless Rolled Edge Angle Cut 3" Inlet 5 25" Length | eBay

Making that angle to the muffler even more sharp, is only going to further bottleneck exhaust flow?

TedB370z 05-01-2014 02:58 PM

hmmm I wouldn't think so... figure its still the same diameter and a smooth bend, plus its shorter... extreme might have been a strong word lol, just more of an angle

Nick M 05-01-2014 03:12 PM

Angles are the enemy.

O ok I gotcha. What I'd do then is remount the hangers and take like an inch or two out of any pipe that's straight. Maybe a mid pipe section? That way you won't mess with angles or bends.

Thanks for both of your posts here Ted! Has given me a fair bit of insight. I am going to look into those tips you suggested and also look at having the factory tips welded on. Right now Top Speed is out of stock so I have a few weeks to investigate this further.

Even just one inch would do the job. Sticking out just 3/8" would look great.
