APS Cat Back Exhaust and Test Pipes
Hi Guys,
Information on the APS cat back exhaust and test pipes has just gone up on the APS web site. It's been a very busy time for the web team here and whilst we're struggling to keep up with the engineering teams at APS I hope that the information that is published is of interest to all.
Regards

Awsome I like how you guys did the middle support bracket on the pipes! And the last video with test pipes... those flames look just simply awsome! That's exactly what the Z was missing! Now we just need a little richer mixture to spit out some longer lasting ones 
I have no sound tho, have to wait to get a chance to hear it with test pipes, that thing must sound damn mean! Thanks for sharing!

Exciting times ahead for all!Shame you have no sound.........the test pipes combined with twin turbos is an awesome experience.........hope you enjoy the sound soon.

Those are some very nice sounding testpipes and exhaust. Can you give us a ball park as to how much the TT kit and the test pipes will run seperately?

I hope so as we have spent many months on the exhaust development and we have prototyped and tested 8 different system designs to find the ultimate power gain from exhaust enhancement.

We have tested on a N/A Australian version Z car though there are small differences between the Aust and US specs in terms of the base exhaust system, so this may not demonstrate the true power result on a US spec Z engine.
Should have accuratre power graphs on the APS web site in approx 3 to 4 weeks time, sorry we can't respond to your request any sooner.

Will get the power graphs real soon for you, by the way what is the normal power increase you would expect to gain from a well designed/manufactured true twin cat back system?

Count me in as a G35 "guinea pig"...I would be happy to pay for shipping. OK, not happy but willing nonetheless.
The Borla, Stillen, and Injen dual exhausts are the three exhausts which, according to various dynos, make the most power on the Z/G35. They all make around 8hp. I believe this is to the wheels. For more info, read this summary that someone posted a while ago on the forum:
I imagine your main competitor in the 2.5" turbo exhaust market would be the GReddy Evo2, which according to some testimonials on this site, makes more power than the above 3 exhausts while not losing low end torque. I haven't seen any dyno sheets that verify this.
Also, a question: what is the weight of the APS exhaust?

Borla (car 2) = 8.2 Hp - 2.7 ft/lbs torque (peak values)
A top end system. Little HP increase until the 5600 rpm to 6500 rpm range. Lost HP & torque below 1800 rpm. 60mm (error actually 58mm). Weighs 52lbs. 1 million mile warranty. Installation - Hard (17 pieces)
Stillen (car 1) = 8.1 Hp - 7.3 ft/lbs torque (peak values)
Hp and torque increase starting at 3000 rpm to redline. Lost a little HP & torque below 1800 rpm. 60mm pipe. 74lbs - 10lbs heavier than the stock system. Lifetime Limited Warranty. Installation - Easy
Injen (car 1) = 7.6 Hp - 5.1 ft/lbs torque (peak values)
Small torque loss at 2800 rpm. Torque gain starts at 3300 rpm. Small Hp increase starts at 3300 rpm, max Hp from 5800 rpm to redline. Major loss in Hp and torque below 2200 rpm. 49lbs.
1 year Warranty. Installation - Easy
