I ordered my APS test pipes and I'm still waiting on them. When I put them on I plan to use the Help method to trick my computer so my SES light doesnt come on. What I was wondering is, is there a way to reset my computer so I wont even have to do that?? Maybe to where it would recognize the change.

 

Subscribed for intrest. Also waiting on APS TP. Ordered from Perfomance Nissan Parts.com and was told should be in by the end of the month.

 

I got el cheapo grande Top Speed Pro-1 Test pipes... no problems yet...
I mean its basically just a straight pipe... does it really matter which brand it came from?

 

Mine should actually be here this week.

 

Really? When did you order your's?

 

one week and 6 days ago.

 

Damn... About the same time is me. Guess I just missed getting the last ones in stock. Ordered mine from PerformanceNissanParts.com Oh well, Let me know what you think?

 

hehehe...true but someone still prefer BRAND NAME.

 

GRD almost always has them instock.

As far a as a reset goes, you can follow theTS reset procedure or just unplug the battery. This will get rid of a SES light, but will not prevent it from coming back. The Help! method is the easiest/cheapest way to keep the light from coming back.

 

Straight pipes are straight pipes, but with that said, APS are nice. they are nicer than helix or kinetix that I have seen in person. They include studs rather than nuts and bolts to provide a mre stock like install to the manifolds. And include the nuts and bolt need to bolt up to a catback exhaust. In a addition they include the nuts/bolts and brackets to attach to the tranny brace (though I will admit, that is not needed) and includes a set of gaskets for the catback end. No other set of test pipes that I have seen comes this complete.

Now add it, they are 2.5", where as nearly every other brand is 2.25, and you have thicker flanges and nicer welds in comparsion to helix or kinetix(two brands I have seen first hand) and there are plenty of reasons to choose APS over others.

FYI, the only comparable test pipes quality wise I have seen to the APS are the labrees. As far as included hardware, none that I have seen come with all the necessay bolts. With the Helix, we had to run to the hardware store to pick up some nuts and bolts to finsh the install. APS comes with everything needed to install.

 

Thanks... What is the "Help!" method?

 

the nonfoulers. The brand name on them is "HELP!" and thus it is called the HELP! method

 

Instead of the "HELP!" method you could also use oxygen simulators.

 

lol...
=)
i think you can get a custom straight pipe to replace cats with 2.5 or 3 inch diameter pipes for about 100 bucks

 

The ones I have seen don't work for the Z. Besides, there is no cutting, splicing, or modifcation needed to install the nonfoulers. they cost about 10 bucks and are 100% removable in a matter of a few minutes

 

Thanks... I have read about that on that "other" forum. lol

 

Take a look at the guy they give credit to for the fix

 

Ah!!! LOL

 

so are the aps pipes resonated?

 

NO
