Does anyone have any experience with these? I've been wanting to get rid of the stock cats but have been worried about raspiness. These seem very resonable for being resonated. Curious about the build and fit quality.

Here is a link:

one of the guys from intensemotorsports is on here. He recomended the resonated race pipes and said on there z they tested peak hp of 14hp to the wheels. I just ordered the race pipes, with a popcharger. Ill see how they are and post for ya.

 

Let me know how it goes. I will be eager to hear!

 

You can hear them in action here: https://my350z.com/forum/intake-exhaust/139650-video-hks-hi-power-true-dual-exhuast-on-our-dyno.html

 

they kinda look like the megan racing test pipes

 

Wouldn't surprise me, everything is outsourced nowadays made in the same factory labeled different brand names.

 

Yea, according to their own site, they're by Megan: http://www.intensepower.com/inmorerapi35.html

 

yea they are made by megan but whatever still badass and low price

 

You can get the exact same pipes from ebay for 80-90 bucks! Go do a search for megan racing test pipes. I dont recoment them, the welds to the resonators cracked on mine and a friends. Though some people have no problems, mine seemed very cheap.

 

I was worried about the build quality. I rather spend more and do it right the first time. Who else makes resonated pipes?

 

labree, makes high quality ones from what I hear. Also XERD will be comming out with some resonated pipes pretty soon from what I hear, I like them over others b/c they bolt up to the stock cat bracket.

 

The description on those test pipes says it might cause the check engine light to go on... it says it's not a prob for 03-04 but I have an 05.. hmmm don't think I want to deal with the check light on constantly.. anyone have these with no probs?

 

There is a fix to the CEL on the 05's do a search you should find it.

 

haha hope mine dont crack, they are getting stalled right now lol.

 

i will be getting mine installed tomorrow. Will let you guys know.

 

I think the main problem was I had the Nismo exhaust on the megan pipes. They arnt HIGH quality, but should still hold up. The Nismo puts more pressure on the pipes than other exhausts from what I read, so the welds just couldnt take it I guess. Two options you have with Nismo exhaust on megan pipes is to have a shop heat the pipes till there red and let them mold to the exhaust, or have some brackets welded on.

 

I have the Kinetix resonated test-pipes and so far so good. I purchased the resonated test-pipes because I don't care for too much raspiness. Even though it's paired with my Injen exhaust it can get a bit loud. Different cat-back systems that are mated to test-pipes may or may not sound very raspy.
Bogart and I are both local, so if you need to take a listen let me know.

well my megan pipes are on and they sound awesome with my greddy evo 2 but now i guess its just a waiting game to see if they crack.

 

i'm taking the pipes off. One of the gaskets already blew and they have an annoying rasp even with being resonated. Ah well, atleast they werent that expensive...

 

I didnt have much rasp at all with my megans, just that nifty crack at the welds

If you got them from e-bay for the 80-90 bucks you can probably sell them for around there and not lose much money.
