Anxious to see how it turns out, I love that color and was hoping you'd choose it.

You gonna be using Oracle vinyl?

I'll take pics of the vinyl in natural lighting once it arrives. Should be here by the end of this week. Those pics of the 370z makes me want to start hacking away at my fenders. lol

You're going to LOVE it Travlee, I have the TDX2 on mine (bumper tucked as well) and the ART pipes up front, I have never heard so many complements on an exhaust in my life. People who don't even like cars tell me how good it sounds haha. Enjoy the purchase and pics when it's installed!!

Pictures of that blue reminded me of this picture I took a couple weeks ago in Charlotte when I went to see my car.

Anyone ever have any trouble with Motordyne's tech dept? I think I spoke with Tom (maybe Tim?) And I was just asking a simple question to see what it would take to pair my momentum performance y-pipe with one of their exhausts (I won it in a competition and I don't want to get rid of it). I was simply trying to figure out what my options were (if any). He then cut me off, told me it was not possible and that he had to go. I really just wanted to know how much shorter their y-pipe was from stock so I knew how much of the midpipe I had to cut off. Really poor customer service and I was shocked seeing as how so many people swear by them.

Edit: the conversation lasted less than 5 minutes, I wasn't taking up too much of his time.

Y pipes are the same length as stock, but you will not be able to convert your to dual outlet like Motordyne uses for their full systems now.

What do you mean? This is what I'm confused about - it looks like in pictures it's just a y-pipe into a single midpipe that splits into two mufflers. I just wish I could see one in person.

Edit:

For example, this pic shows that I should be able to bolt up to my y-pipe just fine as long as they're the same length, no?

This is the newest version, it is different than the one you posted. The old one you posted, would work just fine.
