I dont see the outlet diameter being an issue to me since I already have an aftermarket exhaust. I think for the price, you cant beat it even if they are "sub-par" quality.

 

damm i just went too a few shops around my area they wont do it there was some shops that did it for me long time ago when i had my honda now they said no sh*** i guess iam doing myself i will have it on by later today

 

how much HP can we expect to gain from these with a stock exhaust? I also have an AEM intake.

 

yea im interested, i think it should work well with the fuji y-pipe considering that the y-pipe inlet is a lot better neways.

 

but if the review is good i can't wait to hop on.

i'm sure they'll bolt up, that has to do with the flanges rather than the tubing... but there's going to be airflow issues since we're trying to mate the 2.5" outlet on this test pipe to the 2.25" inlet on our stock y-pipes

the result is going to be a bit of turbulence at the joint... unless of course you fabricate a 2.5" to 2.25" adapter and weld it into your stock y-pipe

most ppl run into this issue when buying an aftermarket y-pipe, but keeping the mid-pipe/muffler stock (with the exception of the kinetix y-pipe which matches up to stock diameters both front and back)

any comments from ppl who are running larger diameter y-pipes? is there a noticeable loss in performance due to turbulence?

 

Will this test pipe or any other test pipe pass emission? I don't want to install these and then swap them out when it's inspection time..

Anyone knows?

 

hello and im back with the results after the install..
1. install was smooth and fit perfect.
2. Sounds awesome!
3. Power band from 3-redline is very nice.
4. Overall value 2 thumbs up!

ill post clips as soon as i take the car for some runs.
let me know if someone can host it that will be great!

 

damn, i was hopin to be the first...oh well, heh...is there any rasp? is there any interior resonation? do you have stock exhaust?

I'm hopin the test pipes don't make my car too loud with the nismo exhaust

 

overall it made my car sound deeper..and meaner...i do get lil rasp at about 4500..but thats cus car was cold and i dont have the resonator on. My friend is gonna install the same pipes on his brand roadster so it should put out a different note..overall car has gotten a deeper note.

Ps. i got quoted ridiculous prices to install these so i say dont pay no more than $50..i got mine done free at a local shop..took about an hr.

let me know if anyone can host the clip for me..?

 

PPS: people having problems by shops hasslen about not being to install them...take it to a automotive repair shop..just tell them there performance cats with resonators..i didnt have a problem getting turned down..thanks again

 

cbr, when are you getting yours installed? I am curious to see how the sound is with the Nismo exhaust...

 

I should hopefully have them by the end of the week, I'm gonna put them in myself, I'll let you guys know ASAP

 

yes please look into this rasp at 45k if its not just when cold explain more.. most non res test pipes ive heard have rasp at a little over 3 k
