Z1 test pipes
 

Anyone have any experience with Z1 test pipes? i tried searching and couldn't find anything or i suck using the search function.

I'm sure they work well. They only offer non-resonated ones though, so keep that in mind.

i don't mind that... i don't have emissions where i live. i was looking at ARK and they go four $600+ and then you got Z1 for $270. was mostly wondering if anyone has them on their car that can vouch for them.

Oh btw, the answer to your sig is 6.

haha.. why yes it is. :happydance::tiphat::vuvuzela:

I have their HFC's Very good quality and the sound is NICE.

Resonated has nothing to do with emissions, I think he was talking about raspyness

they seem to do good work, but i have yet to see someone running their TP's only saw a couple people selling them.

could very well be 0.o

A test pipe is a test pipe. You shouldn't have any issues with them, however as said above your definitely going to get a good amount of rasp.

I have next to no rasp with my Z1 test pipes. Stillen headers and FI cbe.

What resonator option on the CBE? Rasp is definitely subjective however most if not all non-res TP setups iv heard at least have some rasp.

blah the raspyness definitely doesn't sound sexy at all, based on the videos i just looked at :(

Stick to RTPs, or HFCs to avoid most of it.

only reason i was looking into TP's was because i was told you can squeeze more power out of them, but i guess the rasp is the sacrifice you would have to make.

RTPs will not make any less power then a standard set of TPs. Hope you are happy with whatever you end up going with.

thanks for the input, much appreciated :D

No problem, any time :tiphat:

FI TP with stock exhaust was too raspy for me. I still wanted a stock look, so I bolted up a Nismo exhaust. Great sound, best power gain for the $.

So when you went to the Nismo exhaust it eliminated the rasp?

Cold starts around 2300 rpm it can hit a tinny note, so I throttle around it. I was looking for a little more power and a good tone without being too loud and obnoxious. I prefer a good balance between the howl of the motor and the roar of the exhaust.

I have the 18" res on the FI cbe
