Vendors - where are your b-pipes???
So here I am, wanting to replace my cats and y-pipe and keep my stock exhaust, but the best y-pipes are a diameter mismatch for the stock exhaust.
Sure, I could buy some cheesy 3-2.5 converter and have someone hack up my pipes and hope they do a halfway decent job so that it doesn't leak or sound like crap afterwards. NO THANKS.
I'm thinking there is a real opportunity for someone to step up with this product, there is obviously demand for it other wise Japtrix wouldn't have sold out so quick. So all you other vendors have basically conceded to let Japtrix be the only player on this part, even though they still have no idea when they will have inventory again, if ever?

I have to agree with you completely. I was the one who got the last japtrix b-pipe about a month ago.
I had a really hard time tracking it down, and then I got really lucky when I got it.
Oh, and BTW I'm selling it because I bought an injen ses....but someone already has dibs.
If you want it, pm me and I'll let you have it if it falls thru...for a little cheaper than what I payed for it.

I would purchase one of these immediately if someone would produce them. A great alternative to an overpriced y-pipe back exhaust.
Also, keep in mind that the G35 has a slightly longer midpipe than a 350Z.

Either they lack the wisdom to consider the issue as valid, or they don't want to just sell a B-pipe, I'm sure their's more money in you buying entire system. Of course someone could come out with a decent Y-pipe that use's a 2.5" collector, not to hot on the Kinetix myself.

Scroll down about half and you will see the b pipe for the 350z/G35. You have to specify G35 because the pipe is a little longer.

If so, I'll have a very nice Gruppe-S Y pipe for sale soon...

Maybe we could look into a GB if everything looks good...

What's wrong with the Kinetix y-pipe with the 2.5" collector? I have one, and it seems to be built fine. (I have a full Nismo system now, but previously had the Kinetix y-pipe on the stock mid-pipe and muffler. No problems with the y-pipe.)

I would think they could just look up the specs of the G pipe somewhere, but I guess not. Does anyone know the difference in length between the two b-pipes?

If you are looking to free up the exhaust, sure you can gain a little by replacing just the piping, but the stock exhaust is a huge bottle neck.
That's where the true power is to be made. plus you want to replace the muffler with an aftermarket lighter one. If sound is an issue, there are plenty of exhausts out there that are pretty quiet.
